Hi a
I won’t call myself a “defector” from the other side, just that this forum appeals to me. I have been lurking around and having a look for the last few months, but as yet, I have not posted so I think its time to introduce myself.
Well I have been messing around with this train stuff for some 40 years and have had a go at anything from RTR n gauge to 16mm live steam. My present layouts are Glenuig, EM West Highland 1980’s, and Charwel Drynogyth, an 0-16.5 minimal space slate quarry. These two layouts are at present on the exhibition circuit, and while they are doing the rounds, I am building a model of Bridge of Orchy in N gaugeish, and just to add, I have a sizable 00 layout called “Over Haddon” set in the Peak district in the 1930’s, I think that’s enough to be going on with!.
My professional job, I am the electrical engineer for one of the last Black Country iron foundries, and have now worked for the same company for 34 years!.
Oh yes, in my spare time, I am a working and committee member of the Class Forty Appeal, owners of D212 Aureol, 37190, and 50007 Sir Edward Elgar.
I have a very understanding long time partner, Janice!
