oldbloke's mutterings

Lidl had a deal on a wooden train set, including an electric loco. So we got it.

The tracks fixings are compatible, but they're subtly different gauges - the new stuff is about 3mm wider, and the rolling stock matches so is a tight fit on the old track and the loco tends to come off on points and transitions.

I foresee a long evening with the minidrill and a cutting tool.
