Railroading

---

Sophie is home - for one day only - as its their Dad's 60th birthday this weekend. We popped down to Welshpool for a takeaway curry, which we took to Meifod. Delicious and far too much. Then we all settled down to a jolly game of railroader, a game from my childhood which we discovered in the loft when we put the new insulation in. I shan't explain the rules, just its in the wild west, and you lay a track and race trains along - avoiding various pitfalls if you're lucky.

Grandad's track, so he can only go at half speed.

was derailed when he ran out of track.

The winners
clearly champion railroaders.
