One day, my East German aunt (ever a penny pincher) discovered a European brand called Lima (don't recall where they were from) who produced cut priced HO scale model railways based on the rail networks of various European countries. Now, HO scale rolling stock will run on OO scale track but the actual scaling of the models is different. Plus the fact that she would always buy me Yugoslavian locos and an incongruity began to develop which got bigger as each Christmas passed.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

All the Lima stuff I had gifted to me had a very Germanic flavour.
Even the model buildings looked like Swiss chalets with the result that the entrance to Lickey Bank ended up looking like the Grossglockner.Comment
