On the waiting room at our Doc's there is a model railway built under the floor. Glass panels cover the stations, it is there yo amuse kids (and me). They had the lights on tonight although no trains were running Image

Hey! that's nifty, I like it. The only problem could be that the patients visit on false pretences just to see the railway.

At first with the title I thought that maybe you had a troublesome loco.

Helps to pass the time waiting, all docs should have one. Is it 2 circular tracks or forward and reverse?

The tracks are circular, there is another window on the opposite side. The glass sections are removable but I have no idea how they get to the bits under the carpet! I'll have to book an appointment with the lead Doc in the practice to discuss trains!
