Todd Gieg has spent 20 years building a 1/13 scale model of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad. When complete, the layout will stretch 56 feet.

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God saw it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again saw it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.
For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.
And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained 😁

Just popping out to clear the snow. With a model steam locomotive. And a miniature snowplough. Obviously. – at Lichfield, England

High Wycombe juniors are at GETS. It is possible to encourage and support junior modelling enthusiasts. It just needs to be done properly. The hobby owes them that

Why hobbies are good for us- that’s a topic on tomorrow’s @BBCr4today with guest editor @MrJamesMay - he’s been talking to MRC member Carol on railway modelling + how we’re supporting the younger generation (pictured @ the London Festival of Railway Modelling)

Happy birthday to Her Majesty The Queen. Her first Prime Minister was Winston Churchill; her current one… really isn’t.

Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent
