Evening everyone, :wave:
Been recommended to this forum and just found it, and I've just joined tonight. As soon as I saw the description at the top of the homepage, about this forum being a haven for enthusiasts of the Great Western Region...I knew I'd feel right at home Anyone who's seen a user over on RMweb called TangmereTornado - that'll be me.
Thanks to my dad, I've had a love of the Western Region ingrained into me from a young age, despite me being born two days after 50046 Ajax was condemned by BR...first one to guess the date gets a prize
Not to say I don't enjoy other facets of the British Rail network and history (although this modern image guff doesn't appeal a huge amount to me, and the day I willingly pay for a model of a Class 70 is the day my eyes fall out and I get sectioned under the mental health act... :vista: ), but along with my home turf of the Southern region, the Western is my favourite - the locos, the locales, the lot
I've recently started proper work on my first layout, one that Ive been planning and umming and ahhing about for a long time. Port Penare, a port town mainline branch-off terminus on the South Coast of Cornwall (supposedly) is my debut in model railway building, and I'll post up a thread soon on my progress thus far.
Look forward to chatting to you folks on here,
Adam.
