Hello

Hi ,
Well I quess being a lifelong fan of the Western it was about time I joined a dedicated forum. I have been dropping in from time to time and like what I have seen and been told by other members.

Some of you will know me and my layout "Penhydd" from postings elsewhere,  for those who don't then perhaps a brief description of my modelling might be in order, or you could take a look here which describes the story so far http://thechroniclesofpenhydd.blogspot.com/

Penhydd is built to EM standards and fictionally located in the Welsh Border counties between Herefordshire and Radnorshire (Powys). The era is set from 1955 until 1964 which allows a selection of my favourite locomotives and stock to be run decade by decade. 
I have taken the liberty of extending the line from Titley Junction to Presteign onwards to Penhydd, which in my own little world is a small market town.  Here a Creamery ( not yet built on the model) has saved  the line from the Beechings axe.
Rather than repeat what has been posted before I will shortly upload some new images showing progress to date.

Hello Geoff. I know that part of the world really well, there are still a few reminders of the past if you know where to look.

Hi Guv,
Whilst I have read a few books on the area and studied some interesting websites I haven't actually spent much time in those parts.
As you say there are many reminders of the past still to be seen and I look forward to exploring the area in depth soon.
