Hi
I have just joined the forum a few days ago. Was always fascinated by trains but never took it up as a hobby. Last year my wife bought me the Hornby DCC Venice Simplon Set, after I had oogled at model trains in a toy shop (nice of her innit!!). I played with it for about a month but I was sent off on an assignment for 4 months and my set was packed away.
This year I had an option of choosing what I wanted for my birthday, so I decided to expand. In short I am 6 locos heavier and about 600 pounds lighter.
I am basically trying out different things. I was gifted OO gauge but have bought two HO Locos as well. Maybe I would settle into one of them or perhaps keep both...must say I am really tempted by continental stuff.
So currently I have the following:
OO
Hornby - Venice Simplon DCC Set
Hornby - Mallard 70th Anniversary limited edition
Hornby - Mixed goods set, BR 0-6-0 Class 08 diesel shunter, BR 0-6-0T Class 3F 'Jinty,
Bachmann - Class 37, coal sector with DCC sound
HO
Trix - BR185 with DCC
Roco - RE 460 Thales with hornby chip
I am amazed at the knowledge contained in this forum and have already gained a lot.
I look forward to interacting and contributing wherever I can.
Cheers
