A Love Letter to the British Isles
About Me
- Jeffrey Smith
- "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

Both the TV antennas on the houses and the tunnel entrance are a bit jarring.
When I was a youngster we would go down those steps at the side and sneak out and put pennies on the track. You would be amazed how big the 10.15 to London can make a penny!! Rob
I don't think I would. I grew up a block away from a railroad.
I grew up a few short blocks from a RR. I would and I did.
The difference is that, before 1967 or whenever it was, a British penny was a lot bigger than an American penny to begin with.
Sadly I have to confess I am old enough to have put old pennies and the new horrid little pennies on the track
