Hello Florin and welcome to the forum from a relatively new member. ) [Don't tell anyone but this is a great place to be!]

In terms of N scale I am in the same position as you. I have been collecting N scale for about three years now and am hoping to start building a large layout some time soon. (I have to throw away several wheelie bins of rubbish from my 'office' first.) You can see a selection of models, including some Bavarian, on my website, http://trains.manvell.org.uk, along with some Z scale stuff bought since mid September. If I can be of any help to you, please do let me know.

All the best,
Chris

I bought everything I liked .. until 2005...when i fall in love for K.bay.Sts.B.Well, I started 60 years ago with Hornby 0 gauge. I loved that railway but it all disappeared sometime when I wasn't looking. Then I had a bit of Hornby 00 but again that sort of disappeared. I stated collecting H0 (Fleischmann, Jouef, Lima) and built a layout for my children. It didn't last long as we needed the room as the children grew up. I still have all that stuff but plan to flog it on eBay some time. As retirement loomed I decided to ditch H0 and go for N so that I could build a layout where I could run scale length trains. Two years later I have a massive collection, including most of the Fleischmann special edition sets. I have a fairly good idea as to the layout plan that I will go for but that is off topic here. Finally, I went to the Inverness club's exhibition lat month and operated a small Z scale layout for a friend and fell in love with it. I am about to start building a Z layout for exhibiting (if it is good enough). See the layouts section of this site if you want to see what I am up to.

Therefore, factory numbers and train numbers of this Maffei-delivery got somehow mixed up.
BTW, i'm from Romania

Very nice Florin. I had thought about the Brawa HO version of this but am still getting round the price. I'll get there eventually.
