Easing back into the hobby as I laid off since January, I just felt this implosion of interest, maybe
reading the news too much. Anyhow, the first order of business was to clean the track and test
the frogectomy I had done earlier:

What is a a "frogectomy" you might ask? A frogectomy is the removal of frogs from diamonds.
In this case, it appeared the frogs were choking some of the oversize flanges on some of the
really vintage OO stuff that I cherish. So, having done that, with a Dremel, it all seems to
work fine, now!



A few European modelers are not above running the occasional North American piece through
the European countryside, and so it is that I like to run a few European pieces through the
otherwise British countryside. In this case, a sweet old OO Jouef French piece. What with the
buffers, no one knows the difference!
