Since retiring my hubby has so much more time on his hands. He was getting under my feet, so I asked him to try and find himself a pastime. He likes to do a little DIY and gardening, but doesn\’t take an participating interest in either. As a activity, they were not right. He tried other activities to try and fill up his time but he was lacking interested in all of them. I really was beginning to worry about him.

The other day we dug out some one-time photographs and had a bit of a chuckle looking at them. There he was as a young boy playing with his model railway and train-spotting at his local railway station. This is how the thought to take up model railway building as a sideline began. He\’s always had an interest in trains so we both thought this would be a excellent way for him to unwind and adapt to retirement.

He couldn\’t wait to start and show the grandchildren what he was up to. He wanted to show them all the ins and outs of how to build a railway. We have a spare room upstairs which was cleared out to make enough space for the kits he was going to order online.

There is a fantastic range of specialist websites that sell model railways kits. They sell fantastic building kits, and give useful ideas to beginners and novices.They have everything that you need to get up and running. Brand names like Pico, Lima and Gaugemaster are widely stocked. You need accessories too, for instance railway tracks, electronics, locomotives, rolling stock, buildings and scenery to make everything look realistic. My husband was more than in high spirits at just how reasonable everything was to buy. He soon chose what he wanted and placed an order straightaway.

These websites also sell other model kits. Aircraft, cars, and motorbikes are just three examples. My husband, of course, had his heart stuck on building model railways.The kits and various other bits arrived quickly. A picture of his face would of been fantastic as he was so excited and keen to start. He locks himself away in his room for hours on end and some days, I hardly see him. I laugh as I can hear him muttering as he is putting the parts together that make up the model railway. However going out is a nightmare as he is go home and carry on building his kits. He is occupied now and now longer mops around the house.

He was looking at railway sites the other day on the computer. He wants to make as big as collection as possible. There are buy and sell sites too, that enthusiasts the world over use to trade and sell model railway parts. Our eldest grandson has also taken an interest which has made me happy as he gets to spend more time with him.
