When the bottom falls out of your flight box

 

"Oh dear*", I said when I picked up my box with all the tools and potions required to run a live steam locomotive, and the bottom fell out, dropping the drawer full of tools all over the gravel by our club track. 

Five minutes later, having managed to find everything among the stones, I resolved to do something about it. 

For once the useful wood bits pile yeilded something that would do the job. A length of L-shaped moulding which now wraps itself around the bottom of the box. For good measure, there is more inside the drawer, which was also looking a bit suspect. And lashings of PVA glue too. Can't be too careful.


*Those may not have been my exact words.
