True, even overnight could have been fatal. I reckon the local cats would have been interested, though perhaps too well fed to take on that beak.

I see your point. I'm sure it was as thankful as it knew how to be.

Just as well you weren't into 1:12 scale. If you can remember the model numbers you obviously knew your trains much better than I did. I had a fast sleek passenger train and a slow chunky goods train - that's as much as I knew.
