Hello from a newbie!

Hi
I stumbled across this forum whilst looking for information on carriage traversers and liked it so much I joined.
Im Steve and am originally from Wolverton, Bucks now living in south east kent. Im a gas engineer by trade and have a keen interest in modelling from a spectators point of view. This will soon change as my better half bought me a Night Scott set for xmas last, and I inrend to build my model railway based on the west coast main line through the infamous wolverton bend and the adjacent works. (the bend was the undoing of the APT..though the modern pendellinos manage it ok!)

Itll be a "what if" layout, allowing me plenty of scope for artistic lisence.
What if loco building wasnt moved to crewe?
What if Wolverton didnt loose the magority of the carriage works?
What if the nobby line (the branch linking Newport Pgnell and new bradwell) wasnt axed.?
What if woverton kept its road trams?

I intend to run just about anything I please and dont have a time period in mind, though as wolverton was a town built by the railway company during the victorian era I can model right up to the present day if I wish, though my main interest is in steam.

I will be lurking around the various forums here and will probably be popping up now and again to ask inane questions!
Steve
