Thanks to the admins for accepting my application - I came across the forum when whiling away Christmas Day afternoon when the house was quiet for a bit and discovered it via a reference to Mick Simpsons' Cameo Callaton layout (note to self to buy Iain Rice book).
I'm actually a long-time narrow gauge modeller (and small-time kit manufacturer) which I guess doesn't fit too well here, but I've also attempted to dabble in 2FS for some years and in recent months I've just about got around to doing something - nothing sophisticated, just an ongoing Farish Pannier conversion and a few wagons, none of which have anywhere to run because I've not summoned up the courage to build a turnout yet. I also do rather a lot of volunteering at Boston Lodge Works on the Ffestiniog Railway, which is my main excuse for not getting any modelling done.
I can see you like lots of photos but unfortunately the vast majority of mine are full size 2'0" gauge (or skiing, or dogs), so you'll have to make do with a couple of 2FS chassis to prove that I'm not a complete fraud.
