Hi everyone, I'm not new to model railways, my grandad had a huge railway in his cellar in england, and I had a new fangled Intercity 125 to run on it. I still have the train !, I found it the other day while turfing stuff out, and it still goes.
I live in the Pilbara in Western Australia now, and everyday Iron Ore trains go past my work - all 275 wagons of them, to the mines to load up, then off to TomPrice and then to Karratha to be shipped to china. These trains go from here being pulled/pushed by 30,000 horsepowers worth of General Electric AC6000's, its an awesome sight!!.
I have bought my first house and am going to build a railway, in about two or three months time, I have to decide on the layout of course and its an exiting time for any modeler !.
I am going to do Photo's when I start the layout, but for now I am going to trawl through all these threads to catch up on 20 years of model rail.
Regards, Matt.
