This posting resonated with me because back in the 1990’s I had the great good fortune to bring together a very nice collection of pre war Hornby trains and for my other passion a very large collection of Meccano which led to some serious model making. After a time I began to half suspect the two hobbies were getting close to running me, rather than the other way around and in some sort of mid life crisis or spiritual awakening – dependant on your point of view I decided to sell both collections to a dealer and away they went with no assumptions these interests would resurface years later.
Years later however.... When I came to retire and for once had some spare cash in my pocket it seemed to me that it was right and proper to indulge myself again. How often has this sort of thing happened?
