Maybe it is the author of the Model Rail article who needs to start again...

"when laying track, appearance goes hand-in-hand with (prototype) authenticity" although I think that very few reading the revised text might consider that there is a place for comedy track laying in the modellers toolbox.

Nice photo, regards, Graham
