Something completely different and non-gaming related today.

Due to my dad turning 70, I have collaborated with Jim over a ‪@hovermotion‬ to bring back to life my dad's childhood trainset and locomotive, Tri-ang Jinty Tank (1955).

Jim has been incredible in the cleaning, servicing, and advice for the two locomotives that he has sorted out for me. He has also covered the works he's undertaken in the 4 below videos.

Really pleased with how all of this has turned out, hopefully, it will be the start of a new hobby for my dad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!
