Yep that will be Railway Modeller. Since about 1968 ( when i was tall enough to push round dad`s Kitmaster coaches during track maintenance sessions) Think my first locos were a hymek and Brittania. In the early teenage i got to the stage of taking to bits any new purchase (to improve and personalise extra pick-ups lights , crew , wire handrails lamp irons) Then tried Whitemetal kits and scratch building. Following marriage and children 00 was stored away and a few continental N layouts were built. Once current diy house improvements are finished i will be emptying out the garage and start building . Predominantly a Western region layout set in the late 80`s So Blue diesels and HST`s . However there will have to be a presered railway as i have inherited my uncles and dad`s collections of the Big Four steamers and old stock.
Some way will have to be found also to run the Post 2000 collection of locos i have been unable to resist. However i am really looking forward to refurbishing the old wagons and coaches (some even older than me! ) and there may be an article or two from that. With a stock list of over 300 locos control will be mostly conventional dc sectional , although i will be turning over some lines to DCC.
Aside from railways i have interest in photography and cars . The N guage has gone as the eye sights going and arthritus stops the fingers working as they used too.
Have enjoyed browsing the site (thats why i am now doing the hello)
