Liver & Fry
Western Thunderer
Hello everyone!
After some gentle persuasion by @Herb Garden I've found myself here, finally being brave enough to share some of my modelling endeavours. Thank you for letting me join!
A little about me: I'm a (proud) Norfolk lad who has held an interest in railways since I can remember. It all started with a fractured tibia and a 'Thomas' VHS to pass the time (I was 2!) and the bug never left me. Growing up, I held fascination with a broad spectrum of railway interests, but my main focus was always honed in on the "home" railways and as such my main passions are the GER, M&GN and, latterly, the L&FR.
That's not to say I won't happily discuss or model other eras or regions - I have a particular soft spot for the Highland Railway, as well as later subjects such as Gresley streamliners and the early diesel period.
I do not currently have a layout, instead focusing on developing my skills, mostly by wagon building (kits, kit bashing and modifying rtr stock). The dream is to pick up a soldering iron and master that medium, at which point the skies the limit and a rake of L&FR clerestory stock in 4mm will be mine...
Below is a taster of what's to come when I work out how to navigate this forum!
And finally, why 'Liver & Fry'? Well, the L&FR lettered their open wagons L&FRY which gave rise to the amusing nickname 'Liver & Fry'!
I'm also known on another popular forum as 'Jammy2305' which was a carry over from my earlier Internet days. But, for ease, you can just call me James...
Thank you for taking the time to read and I look forward to being a part of the community!
Best wishes
