Crab and Winkle

Hi everyone
I've been on here for a couple of days so I thought an introduction would be in order.
I have been modeling O gauge for the last 18 months or so. My layout is to be an extension of the Brightlingsea branch (hence crab and winkle) to St. Osyth in Essex around 1951-52. Due to the proximity in time and place I have had a bit to do with some members of the West Mersea project and this is what has brought me to this forum.
I live in South Australia and my previous modeling has been HO/HOb dual gauge Australian National Railways circa 1989. This is known as the green and gold era and is not much modeled (or liked) as It saw the old SAR CR Silver and Red and Mustard and Maroon liveries replaced by the corporate green and gold on Locos and wagons together with the closing of many lines. My old layout Kadangi and Ten Chain Crossing has been dismantled for the moment but for good ANR modeling I would recomend a look at Barcoola http://barcoola.blogspot.com.au/
Of which I am a big fan.
Cheers
Bill
