Finally posting a hello.

[Philip Griffiths]

Hello. I have been a member since the middle of 2023, but have posted nothing, and to be honest, have not spent much time on here, but found valuable information each time, so I need to spend more of my ‘online’ time here.

I am based in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. My 4mm modelling interests are SE Wales - specifically the ex LNWR/LMS lines and the Taff Vale Extension. 009 has also become an interest with the releases of rtr locos and rolling stock - though this has not been without its issues…..

I am an active member of the Ulster Model Railway Club who meet twice weekly in East Belfast.

Thanks Mike

everything in boxes at present. My daughter has had seven house moves in four years, their new place is smaller than her place in Larne, so we still have some of her material in our place so space had to be granted. I’ve been trying to find time to build an 8’ x 3’ 009 layout for the last couple of years, but struggling to keep power connected to the locos. They lose power a lot, and with small diameter wheels that is not fun.

4mm modelling taking a back seat at home, with most modelling going into the Ulster MRC new layout.

regards.
