Hi all.
Phil Bartlett here. I would have used "Phil" (as on RMweb) but it is only four letters !!!

Started on BR straight from school and celebrate 34 years loyal service to Britains railway system this year. My dad started Finisters Models back in 1961ish in Coventry but moved to Wales in 1971. You might deduce that he was a railway nut, and it rubbed off on me.

My interest was in Austrian and European railways in the 1990s and early oughties, but my passion returned to British Railways, specifically railways in the Black Country and South Staffs in the 1960s and 1970s. I was initially bowled over by Digital sound in diesels, but realised that steam sounds were very much more complex and not really viable for my personal requirements, so am taking a breather on digi sound.

My loft project is based on Sedgeley Jn on the South Staffs from 1960, but it is very very restricted to a space 12'x12' so is basically a two track roundy roundy with a 9 road traverser . Some of the woodwork has been erected, but the project has been put on hold until my book about Bescot is finished - hopefully by this Christmas.

So that is me in a nutshell

Hi Phil

Hi Phil
Thanks for the prompt response. It'll take me a bit to figure the site out, but I'll enjoy it. I was told about it this afternoon - getting a bit jaded with BRMweb to be honest and how threads occasionally "disappear" !!

Looking forward to a more relaxed place.

Cheers
Phil

Hello Phil, glad you've made it

 

[Dog Star]

First time I've seen here described as 'relaxed', but it's true we don't have many rules, and 'visible' Admin - not Anony-Mods....

True, no anonymods. We do have Jordan.... so we have to be on our good behaviour otherwise there is that swift retort of targetted and appropriate humour - .

Sometimes life here is so relaxed that WTers can be seen asleep in deckchairs and with knotted hankies to deter the sun.

Welcome Phil, regards, Graham Beare

Funnily enough Phil, the presumption that they can pass judgement on the real railway (as well as the model world) continues today Welcome anyway, mate.

I am not going to say anything!!!!

First time I've seen here described as 'relaxed', but it's true we don't have many rules, and 'visible' Admin - not Anony-Mods, so we're just as accountable as everyone else. Welcome aboard, Phil!

I am not going to say anything!!!!

.... or in the Day Care Room, with pipe & slippers, snoring away in a comfy chair....

But I am now, welcome to the mad house enjoy yourself mate ( please note written in the most excellent colour in the pallet)

Most of the pallets in my garage are a rather dirty brown.... none marked "Chep" and hence none are blue!!!!
