J50 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hello my name is Kevin and I have always been interested in model railways but recently I have started to build my small shunting plank in oo gauge and as I have limited space. I'm looking forward to learning more about this great hobby through the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBAGE Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hello Kevin, Welcome from County Durham - and all corners of the globe, I suppose. I'm from Middlestone Moor but now live in Durham. What will be the subject of your plank? I'm in the process of building a layout of Newton Hall Junction in 00 gauge so we might be able to help each other. Newton Hall Junction is on the ECML and the junction went to Sunderland. This line was originally the Sunderland and Bishop Auckland Railway and was the first railway to use the current Durham station. Give me a shout if you need anything.

Tangoman69 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi Karl thanks for the welcome and I live in the market town of Bishop Auckland.Kev,I'm just up the road in Consett. We're probably at the same stage, my 8' x 2' layout has been mothballed for so long now with kids moving back home, redundancy and relocation. I will get my railway room back soon when my daughter soons moves out, so planning the next layout. It seems so long since I have ran anything, just spending my time detailing what I had and bought recently. Like Craig says, don't be scared about asking questions, you get a speedy response from the encyclopaedic forum members. Regards Karl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
