I'm sure everyone who has read the Harry Potter stories or seen the films remembers Mr Ollivander's wand shop in Diagon Alley. The many long boxes containing all sorts of wands, waiting for the right person to enter.
Well if you head for Jane's Trains model railway shop in Tooting, just by Tooting railway station, you will find something very similar. Along much of the right-hand wall as you enter are long boxes, stacked higgledy-piggledy just like the wand cases in Ollivander's. Only these boxes contains engines, coaches, trucks, track and other accessories for the aspiring or experienced modeller.
And unlike a wand and a wizard, I don't *believe* the model chooses the modeller.
I might be wrong, though.
