Making a start in O gauge
Finally making a start in O gauge modelling! So far I've done plenty of armchair research, joined the O gauge guild, bought a couple of rolling stock kits, and started building them, and thought about what period to model, and which company.
Have sounded out a few members at the MRC who are interested in O gauge, but haven't found any who are interested in the late Victorian /Edwardian period, so it look like it will be a personal layout.
As I live in Islington, and am a member of the MRC, I feel it should be a London layout. After some research on the Internet, I have settled on the North London Railway (NLR) in the period 1890-1914. I travel to work on the London Overground passing along the route of the old NLR line so this seems right.
First step is the research. I've applied to be a member of the North London Railway Group, and started surfing the net for background information, commercial offerings and other layouts and models. I'll post up a list of my findings here in the next couple of weeks.
