| Once
upon a time, eleven-year-old Little
Dan was invited to
exhibit a model railway at his
local model railway club’s
annual exhibition. His layout was
based on a motive power depot a
Blue Diesel in Yorkshire. The
show was based in a local
secondary school, but the sports
hall was not available, and the
club had to use ordinary
classrooms Each classroom
accommodated three or four
exhibits or trade and society
stands.
The show was
about an hour in on the first
day. One member of the club is
strolling around as one of the
show stewards and saunters into
one classroom. He finds Little
Dan slumped behind his layout and
clearly very distressed. He
immediately leads Little Dan down
to the refreshment rooms and
fixes him up with a Mars bar and
a can of Coca-Cola
