Give us a chance - I only just got here! :laugh:

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps - I guess I'd better go and start a thread on the 37.

Dan - Yes, I am Telford bound in a couple of weeks - I'll be there on the Saturday.

Hello,

Greetings from a very rainy Rutland.
(No, it won't be good for the Water, at least not directly: that's extracted from the Welland and Nene, then fed back to Anglia Water's customers. We're Severn Trent...)

Hello Simon :wave: :wave:
Its very wet in Hereford, it seems as if summer has deserted us, and we shall be bringing the remains of the hanging baskets in this weekend.
Are we going to be seeing anything in S scale?

Who knows - it could just as easily be One32!
Or, on a good day, both.

Thank you for the welcome.

My interests are essentially baby Sulzers and DMUs on the Cambrian, but I have a half-built Fred Phipps D63xx in G1, plus a few other bits in that scale.
Ostensibly I am building an S scale layout in the garage, but today I do not feel very motivated.

I know the feeling with the motivation, I lost all will over the summer but I seem to be back on the way up at the moment....

Hello!
Just found this forum after being told of it's existence by a good friend.
I have just spent a quiet half hour browsing the threads and pleasantly surprised to find quite a few familiar names here.

I will contribute to the forum once I have had more time to get used to things.
A lot of you will already be familiar with my interest in BR western region in the late 50's / early 60's and also with some of my modelling which is already displayed on other forums.

Thanks for letting me in.
As ever
Frank

Hi Frank; some of us use our real names here - you might know me as "F-Unitmad" on RMweb :oops: and we met once at the Hagley Railfest a couple of years back. Welcome aboard! :thumbs:

Thanks for the welcoming messages folks.
I've only just realised though that the forum was set up for the "larger Scales" I model in 4mm 00 gauge so I'm probably a little out of place here.
Never the less I appreciate good modelling in all scales and gauges so will continue to look and observe.
I'm still catching up with the older threads here to see what's been happening and who is who.

In response to Jordan, yes I do remember us meeting up at Hagley 2008, Chris Gilbert has invited my layout to this years show but, I haven't heard from him to confirm anything.

BTW I shall be exhibiting Pen Y Bont at the YMR/Kernow MRC exhibition at Redruth next weekend (4th/5th Sept) if any one is in the area please feel welcome to come along and say Hi.

As ever

Hi Frank,

Shome mishtake shurely?

The strapline says "Modelling the Western Region in all scales and all regions in the larger scales" (my emphasis).

I have a sneaking feeling most of us will be somewhere else next weekend... :scratch: ;) :D

... but enjoy the show & do post some pics, especially of your Pen Y Bont; if I remember correctly it has one of the best-modelled-ever country lanes on it... :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Yes quite! I almost forgot that my journey south coincides with the Guild "Do" at Telford.
It seems strange that most of you guys will be heading for Telford when I am going away from it!

And a big hello from me too :D

Especially to simon dunkley who is a friend from another forum but the penny has only just dropped that it was actually him (stop changing your username). And I know that Mr Ploffy will pick up on this so I'll say it first, the penny has further to drop these days ;) :laugh:

Well, I decided life would be simpler if I used my real name. Also, I am more likely to behave myself than if I use a nom de plume.
This is admittedly a rare example of insight and self-control, but sometimes it is nice to surprise oneself...

That's "more like to behave myself", not just "behave myself"... ;)

Edit:
PS, thank you to everyone for the welcome. Much appreciated. As is the inspirational modelling on here, even if some people are too diffident about their own skill levels!
