If you end up going to London this'll interest you John

Looks very interesting,although a tad claustrophobic

I'm not surprised the little mail train has eventually become a tourist attraction.  But not for me.   [Shuddery]

I'll have to use the ordinary tube train in about a week's time and that's more than small enough for me.

Fascinating old bit of kit though.

Ahha, the old Gulliver complex!

Sometime, Gyppo, if you haven't already you must go to Bourton-on-the-Water, where there's a model village that's a tiny replica of the actual village.  That should confuse your spacial awareness good and proper.

Jo, you've woken a long dormant memory.

Visited it years ago as a teenager when I was about eleven or twelve.  We were cycle touring as a family and little sis, aged four or five, rode in a tiny little sidecar attached to Dad's pushbike.  Sis was convinced she could see real little people in the houses.  (Maybe she could.)

I must put it on my list of places to see again.  Alma would love it.

I wish we had a photo of that little sidecar, it was made by Watsonian, who made real adult sized sidecars, and was black with fancy gold linework and a sprung wheel.  A proper carriage for the little princess.  Sometimes she would fall asleep on long journeys, but not often as  she didn't like to miss much even then ;-)
