Who said that model railways are a safe sedate hobby.  Well, this is Australia after all.  I’m surprised that he didn’t show the gigantic spider hiding in the goods shed!

This does of course raise the question as to the safest scale to model in down-under.  Would ‘N’ be safer, as only a small snake could get in the tunnel (and no spiders.)  I don’t think ‘G’ would be recommended, as you could lose a python down a tunnel there.  And garden railways would be really dangerous – who knows what might be lurking down the line.

With, of course, apologies to my Australian readers – I’m just relieved we don’t have this problem!  But I did see this on Facebook the other day (click the watch on YouTube link.)
