Just joined up yesterday and goofed on first post.So I am getting used to navigating about on this "new to me" forum.
I was born in London and brought up in Sheringham,Norfolk.Then emigrated to Canada.
I model UK 00 and European and Japanese HO.
I am dabbling in London Transport and have just completed a tube station.I use reed switches and blue lamps to give the blue flashes using on board magnets.
Happy memories of Rayners Lane visiting cousin there as a child and watching the blue flashes in bed at night of the Picadilly line.
Have build several of Harrow Model kits.
I have motorized the EFE 1938 stock,peopled and interior lighted each car and have direction lights using leds and fibre optics on the drivers cars.
I dabble in SR,LNER,GWR,LMS.
I like the German ERA 2 period since getting a book locally regarding the 1935 100 years DRG celebrations.Have since found DVD's from Amazon.de regarding this period.
I can play PAL DVD's ok with a $C 69 multi format DVD player.
My latest aquision being the Rivarossi Henschel-Wegmann Zug kindly found for me by a friend in Berlin.I have had the "hots" for this model for years.
I am also interested in Japanese Railways.From Steam to the Nozomi 500 my favourite.Hence my name "Nozomi" which means "Hope".
Over the years I have found thanks to eBay many unusual items like Exley,Hamblings,Graham Farish 00 rolling stock and white metal items from various UK makers.
I just like the Worlds railways and like the variety.
The passengers on the layout standing on Rayners Lane station are somewhat shocked when the Nozomi 500 or the Henschl-Wegmann sail by.They are getting used to the variety now!
I think I've over done my intro.I tend to ramble on a bit.
Best wishes to all and it will take me some time to read all the usefull information that folks have left.
