Hey there! I thought I would make a start on my new RMweb blog with a little background about myself. I was on the last RMweb forum, but I didnt post much and never got round to making any thread about what I get up to modelling wise.

Im a bit of a narrow gauge nutter myself, pretty much all aspects of it interest me. From the old overgrown railways of like the Corris and Ffestiniog Railways, to the new and modern railways like the RhB in Switzerland. The reason for this is I grew up spending my summer holidays in Porthmadog and visiting its surrounding narrow gauge railways.

Although I have never been and seen any for myself (maybe one day...), I have a great interest in the narrow gauge railways in America. This interest was fueled by Bachmanns more recent range of locomotives and rolling stock in On30. Since I didnt have much space for modelling, but always found the bigger scales more apealing than OO, 009, HOe and HOm; On30 seemed the ideal way forward balancing the two factors. I also had never done any modelling before as my last layout was just a OO table top, so RTR On30 was a big bonus.

I later found that there was alot more on offer for On30 than the Bachmann range, and my collection of locomotives and rolling stock has been growing ever since (sadly the layout hasnt been growing to the same ratio ).

I named the layout the Blue Ridge Railroad after the Blue Ridge mountains it is set in. It is a logging and mining layout like most in On30, and is DCC with some Sound locos.

More recently I found out that modelling O 16.5 with the kits on offer was not as hard as I thought. So I am now working on a small micro layout named 'Middlemill' to go with my British stock.

I work on either layout depending on what im interested in at the time.

I think thats about it for now, I will keep you updated with my modelling depending on how much interest there is.
