Good old fashioned detective work. Tales that made Saturday night. Nostalgic and great relaxation for my sleeplessness. Thanks for putting the stories out.

[@mattf5973]

quick synopsis .. no spoilers.... Before he was murdered Harry Durman was helping out at a model railway exhibition. Was this his hobby, or was there some other reason why he was so interested in electric trains?

Thanks!

Thanks for uploading. This was an enjoyable listen.

[@waynegeordiesdad648]

Thanks Chesterton.....here's a short synopsis Project Community was supposed to be an occasion for good will: a police-sponsored exhibition of the handiworks of Glasgow’s hobby clubs. But as Sergeant Francey Lang discovered when he was "inspecting" the vast model train layout, someone had used it as an occasion for murder. The victim was a used-car dealer, of considerably less than savory reputation, who seemed to devote most of his time and money to his hobbies. And when Colin Thane and Phil Moss began their investigation, they confronted a strange assortment of clues: missing electronic equipment, a mink coat, a sizable cache of funds at a business on the verge of bankruptcy, and a troubling memory at the back of Thane’s mind. Another expert tale of urban crime and detection featuring the popular and resourceful detectives of the Millside C. I. D." Cheers from Canada North

Hey, the host of this channel! Instead of adding loooong lists of websites and other useless info in the description, why don’t you include IMPORTANT and USEFUL information like: brief summary/synopsis of the story.

[@dianapeek6936]

As a Brit I'm afraid I can't understand the accent. Pity that, will have to find another play to help me nod off. 😊

[@geraldvaughan5103]

It's like a foreign language - it's probably good if it was translated

[@jonathannettleton8399]

Foreign language

[@Beauloqs]

Yup, Scottish.
