Spotted today on the BBC website this news clip of an upside down model railway where the train defies gravity.

Maybe now we know why Richard uses steel rail; "down under" everything really is the other way up?

Enjoy

They say 'why' and the reasons are that it's different. OK, it's different, but where do you go from here? I'd prefer to see a wall mounted layout in Z-gauge perhaps. It could be used as an art-piece.

I've seen this done with slotcars. Not a massive take-up unfortunately...

Another train story on the BBC. Typical French incident involving a train toilet

This is a regular occurrence?

It's actually a bit of a bumper day for railway related stories on the BBC.

I saw the one with the man getting his arm stuck down the toilet. Bit of a chuckle. As long as it doesn't happen to me of course.

I really can't imagine why anybody would want a railway on their ceiling, unless they wanted to operate it while laying in bed!
