The hello thread

Hello
I?ve been pestered by iploffy to join this site, he clams I will improve it (I don?t think so :twisted: ).
Anyway I?ve joined. So a quick intro .
Being from Wiltshire I have a strong leaning to all things Western .
Working on the Railways, I?ve moved around a bit with my job. Now living in Milton Keynes (someone has to :twisted: ).
I have model in all sorts of gauges, and now have settled on O and EM :headbanging: .
I don?t have the ?her indoors? problem as my 2nd wife is into railway?s just as bad as me (she models in 7.25in ).

Glad to hear you both have a strong leaning towards all things Western - you've come to the right place.
