Re your impressive comment:
Thanks, I printed off (reasoning that copyright applied only if I was making comercial use of the images, which I am not) several pages of typical wall, hall and turret sections, and from those fashioned an additional portion of the castle to and through which my N30n track loops.
If an image will paste, here 'tis…
There are additional halls, accomodation and service buildings, since I want to offer my visitors a total medieaval castle experience!

Great work! Thanks for the photo!
And here I was thinking it was a reference to a paper model of this…
About 40 years ago, we were having the telephones in the office reworked. I started scrounging the obsolete cable. The technician asked if I was a model railroader. Then asked if I knew anything about this new system that only needed 2 wires.

…you buy a different brand of catsup just so you can scan the label to make a cool set of reefer decals!

Of course that was an O-scale size box of cookies to begin with. I loved those animal crackers even better than Social Tea when I was 3.
Paper models of locomotives take me back to the Micro Models (tm?) which we built as schoolkids in the late 40s, early 50s. Haven’t googled them, but supose they are no longer a ‘thing’.

They are no longer published, but they are certainly still a ‘thing’.
Incidentally, I believe the PRR T1 was in the very first postwar ‘kit’…

It would take me awhile but I know I know where to find them online. Try this one:

What an amazing site this is! There’s hardly a day that goes by where I don’t learn something new! Today? Micro Models (which I’ve never heard of) and Social Tea cookies! Never heard of them either but Lady Firestorm has!
Just in case no-one else has either:
Honestly I don’t remember ever seeing them anywhere for that matter. Maybe I should start looking…

This website hasn’t been updated in years and I don’t know how many of the links are still active but it used to be THE database of free paper model kit downloads. One of those had Micromodels.

Yes! Phone cable abandoned roadside wired my entire layout in BC. Degreasing those individual wires was the downside, or ‘cost’

when…you hear/see a train approaching your road grade crossing and you deliberately slow down so you can stop and watch it go by. Worse yet, when you reach the crest of the road grade crossing you slow down to look in both directions to see if you can see a headlight. If you do, you drive over the grade crossing, pull over to the side of the road, wait for it to roll by, and then you get back in your car and head on your way.

Well, that’s just perfectly normal behavior for a railfan!

We have over 20 years together now… and I’m still trying to convince my wife of that.
