hello ive just subscribed and dont kwow much about how forums work ive just started back in the world of railway modelling after a 12 year absence not bad to say im only 29 i was building layouts for as long as i can remember untill i was 17 but other things, beer,women and football took over. i was thinking for a few years to get back into it and now am settled down and moving into a new house and the misus has finally agreed to let me have my own room for my stuff i will have a nice sized space for a layout. i used to model in oo but this time round ive gone for n "more for your space"and that n gauge models have become so much better these days unfortunatly i have fogotten a lot of what i knew mostly lthe electrics side of things, dont know exatly how much room ill have but i think 11 by 3 a half mabe 4 feet. so here it all starts for me
