After yesterday's collectables, let's have some more bricks from Denmark.
This film is mesmerising if you were a Lego building child. I remember some of the sets shown in the middle of this. Mostly remembering that I wished my parents could afford to buy me some of them. I did have the blue rails, but no points, so my trains had to circle rather than shunt. As ever, it was the building that interested me more than operating anyway...

Phil, thank you — this takes me back a few years! I had components dating back to 1967, and even had a pair of turnouts and right-angled crossings. I think I had the level crossing as well and at least one semaphore signal. I am not sure what has survived the test of time? Presumably it’s still in the loft?...
I had the 1985 steam cargo train (12 mins), had lots of fun with that. In fact I still have it, my son gets it out sometimes. The rubber tyres fell off and it needs a push start, but he still finds it fun. That's what it's about?
