Just like to say hello, my name is Pete Evans. I'm a member of a couple of forums in the USA hence my username. I model BR Southern Region in the mid '50's in "OO" (hoping to base the layout on Gravesend Central), Conrail's Southern Tier Line somewhere between New Jersey and Bingampton in the mid '90's in "N" scale and just to confuse matters I also dabble in O-16.5 loosely based on the Snailbeach operations near to where I now live!
With three young children, this keeps me more than busy!

Pete.

Thanks for the welcome, it's nice to feel at home.

I lived in the Medway towns until I was 21 way back in 1973, so I have reasonable memories of the end of steam as a result of the Kent coast electrification in 1959. For those who know the area, I remember sitting up on the Great Lines (near the war memorial) and watching the trains going over Luton Arches before disappearing into the tunnel under the Lines on the way to Gillingham and the coast.

Ben, no I haven't scaled the heights of Caer Carradoc yet, however as my house backs onto the Long Mynd I've been up there a few times.

Pete.
