Hi. I'm Bill, a 55 year old from Scotland who took early retirement and moved to the beautiful island of Penang.
I finally have a room in which I can build a model railway. The baseboards have been built, tracklaying has been started and I've constructed a number of card and plastic building kits. Soon I will have a place to run the models I have bought over the past few years.
I grew up in Ayr, overlooking the busy railway line just north of the station. My layout will attempt to depict somewhere in the west of Scotland in the 1960s. Apart from using mainly railway locomotives which were used in the area, I have some Western SMT buses which will be more familiar to non-railway enthusiast friends from Ayrshire.
