From Burgundy, the Longer Tomy Thomas Trains moved to the Czech Republic,
where, a year on, a more seasonal sun had returned. We could finally go back to
the layouts from the previous summer, and come up with refined versions. Each
layout is made up of 9 independent loops.
Nice
memories from that summer: the layout-making and filming was only interrupted
by watching the Cycling Tour of Spain on the television, in other words the
perfect holiday.
Volume 5
concentrated on the narrow gauge trains, although as was later pointed out to
me by one of the viewers, Victor is also narrow gauge and could have been put
in place of Mavis. Volume 4, below, though will serve as a tribute to Murdoch:
both on Volume 2 and especially here he is seen performing superbly,
demonstrating great pulling power. This would be his swansong, for he suffered
severe damage from a leaking battery shortly afterwards. Whether he is eventual
repaired or replaced, I fear he may never be as good.
