Congratulations to Tom and Tanya Lodge who have a lovely baby boy called Dylan. He’s a few months old now and doing well. He’ll be a hit with the ladies too I’m sure. They’re all on a summer adventure in California at the moment. Hope they’re having fun!

A big congratulation to Rich and Anna who announced the birth of their first child, Dylan, last month!

The baby and family are looking fine. And what a great place to grow up in, Coogee Bay! Dylan has also become a member of the technorati by having his own website, Dylan’s World.

Good luck guys! Hope the harsh Australian winter isn’t getting you down. And see you when you’re over next, early 2006?

The Fall Cal-Stewart meet honors the memory of John King with a cocktail party on Friday evening in his name. John King was the life of the TTOS SW Division and contributed much to the early success of the Fall event. He loved to be the auctioneer at the annual event and encouraged new young collectors to feel welcome into the hobby of toy train collecting and operating.

Cheers Guys! Have a beer on me!

This amazing peice is by a friend of mine known as Kid Spaniard. Artist, mum and Dane – she has her work cut out.

Hello and welcome to the official opening party for my blog (definition here). Please have a look around and then leave a comment by clicking the little link below.

I’m hoping to be able to maintain this blog on a daily basis so bookmark this page, add it to your favourites and check back every once in a while. If you have any intersting links, articles, pictures or whatevers then please send them to me at the address to the left and I might put them up here.

Coming soon will be my Grand Poker Experiment where I try to turn £20 into £500 (or, more than likely, £0). I’ll be detailing all the main plays in my games and all the shocking flops right here. Wish me luck!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy what you see and turn up again soon.

John King..
