THERE'S A MARTIAN ON THE TRACKS


Hello Woodsy 

Funny thing, I always thought of this Martian War machine as a Tripod when in fact it has four legs plus two that are clockwork powered to make it walk. So, in fact it has six legs and is a hexapod not a tripod! 

The Martians have invaded 'Northern Heights' my OO layout circa 1950's. The army gets ready while the Martians contemplate a dockside crane. 

I counted buses on 'Northern Heights' and there are 35 double deckers, two are Morestone (London Made) copies of the Dinky (Liverpool Made) and one is a Budgie Routemaster. There are 10 single deckers and two sometimes three operating trams. Not bad for a model train layout with four operating trains at any one time..
