LL's Sister's Bloke is into toy model cars and railways... 
I made him put his layout together and take it apart three times so I could get this video!

Unfortunately, when he let me have a go the Routemaster produced smoke and stopped... 
Just like the real ones then 
Nuffin model wise beats slot car racing like Scalextric . If I had one of those model road systems as a 6 year old I'd have spent a few hours staging spectacular accidents and then it would have gone into a cupboard rarely to reappear
But at his age?
But then seems it does rain a lot in Auckland.
It is an obsession!
He spends hours scaling the Interwebz for the parts he needs...
Clever bloke tho, he designed the layout (which is going to be permanent in the garage, not on the floor) in 3D CAD and designed the 'missing' track sections and got them 3D printed...
He has a 'n' gauge 9mm layout and this will be an 'OO' mixed car/train layout - with Hornby 'Living Steam' engines!
But then he has just shown me his 'shopping list'... everything they have ever bought in the supermarket listed in the order that the supermarket is laid out. So you just circle the bits you need this week and then take the shortest route around the supermarket to get them...
