Dear MRF team, just a few words to say how delighted I am to be a member of such a fantastic team of experts.

Since joining a couple of days ago, I have asked a few questions and have had loads of brilliant answers and offers of help. I really appreciate this as I am returning to the hobby after a lapse of about 40+ years.
Each and every member who replied was friendly, courteous, pleasant, offered to send images of scenery or layouts to help me or just said hi and welcome, and they all went out of there way to offer help and/or guidance.
MRF have a fantastic website and a lot of ingenious and helpful members. I am glad that I joined and wish the team and members a lot of good luck for the future and I know with people like you, the forum can only go from strength to strength.
I know that as from membership date, if ever I have a problem I can come to you for a fast and dependable efficient service. Thanking you one and all.

Regards ........ from a very happy member in Northern Ireland.

Hi Brian,

Welcome to the forum, I felt exactlly the same as you when I first joined and still do today.

Also I see you are from Coleraine. I'm not that far away from you as I live in Templepatrick. Small world!

Hi Brian - I'm glad that you like the site and have had a good response to your queries.

I think that the general ethos of the site is one of friendly support and appreciation amongst members who share a common hobby.

Even if we do every now and then indulge in a little thread hi-jacking!

The warning signs are mentions of "steeple cabs", rabbits and penguins.....

I don't what you mean, we haven't had a thread on rabbits at all this year - yet!

If you want to discuss rabits, please be quick.

I have one hidden on my layout (for the amusement of the grandchildren) but there is also a fox stalking it and no burrow (yet ?)

Sounds a bit like the penguins on a certain Belgian layout!

And I didn't even mention Alastairs favourite type of loco.......

Well not often anyway.

Came across this little article recently and was quite amused by the anecdote about one set of the wheels turning backwards.

Now that would make an interesting modelling project !!!
