OBD_76 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hello My name is Daniel, I'm 40 years old, and I live in Meiringen (Switzerland), the village where Sherlock Holmes is a freeman :-) I'm interrested in british railways since one year, and I start in the near future a layout in N gauge. Please apologize my knowledge of english. Regards Daniel 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwestdivide Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Herzliche Willkommen etc. No need to apologise - your English sounds fine so far, and in any case, we all like photos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brack Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ironic really, you're from a beautiful town surrounded by delightful narrow gauge rack equipped lines, mountains and some preserved steam locos and yet you want to get some farish diesels and build a model of a scruffy midlands industrial estate (or similar but in steam days). We look forward to seeing what you get up to. In my experience Swiss people tend to speak better English than half our population (despite it usually being their 3rd or 4th language) so I wouldn't worry too much. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBD_76 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Hello to all again Sorry for my last short answer. I am realy pleased to be here! Ironic really, you're from a beautiful town surrounded by delightful narrow gauge rack equipped lines, mountains and some preserved steam locos and yet you want to get some farish diesels and build a model of a scruffy midlands industrial estate (or similar but in steam days). We look forward to seeing what you get up to. In my experience Swiss people tend to speak better English than half our population (despite it usually being their 3rd or 4th language) so I wouldn't worry too much. Oh i like the swiss narrow gauge, and normal it is to build them (as a swiss). But i am not really normal. I hear every night a Sherlock Holmes radioplay, like british humor, look sometimes Hercule Poiror or Holmes too, an i really like british steam.

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted August 7, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I wonder if you you have ever read this book, which is set in Meiringen: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/4029819/And-Then-There-Was-No-One-by-Gilbert-Adair-review.html It might have been in this book that I read the claim that Meiringen was the place where merangue was invented.

OBD_76 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hello Geoff Thank you, and I hope to get inspired. Actually I plan a baseboard (in modules) 13' x 1,3' Hello Andy I didn't read this book, but I know the story. And yes, we have the best merangue. :-) Best regards Daniel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
