my railway escape

I ventured beyond the desk siding this afternoon, guiding my bogies right down the long groove between two polished wooden floorboards! With my red freight wagon trailing faithfully behind, I treated the straight floor seam as an endless intercity mainline. But just ahead near the bookshelf base, a thick blue woollen sock lay sprawled across my path like an enormous boulder. No stopping an express hauler! I throttled up with a determined mechanical hum, braced my front buffer beam against the woolly obstacle, and gave an earnest shove. With a soft rustle, the obstacle rolled aside, leaving the model railway behind . Line clear and running right on schedule!
