Hello,
Another name you may recognise from over there!
Been looking for something a bit different of late and more relaxed.
I model for enjoyment and meeting like minded people-why be aggressive? I'm not too concerned if there's a vacuum pipe missing or there's a rivet out of place as long as there's a feel for the subject and it makes me happy then I'm not going to loose sleep on it. Afterall, isn't life hard enough without turning something you enjoy in to a confrontation?
That's enough of that anyway.
I've think like most others on here my interest in railways stems from my childhood, the trainset and trainspotting (Though that may be pushing it). One thing I have always done since my teens is improve the appearance of models through repainting or weathering. Badly in those days no doubt. Also I enjoyed building kits.
Hence I think I'm more of a modeller and track work and electrics aren't my strong point.
However, I'm in the process of building a small micro layout based on the Northamptonshire Ironstone industry called Juniper Hill. I will start posting an account of the build of this soon.
My other interests include the GWR and I'm planning a small micro-layout set in the Teign Valley around 1946-47.
Then again-there's that Brian Madge OO9 quarry Hunslet sat on my workbench. Hmmmmm! This may play a role in my future plans too.
Cheers,
Mark
