Hi Guys

Great to be back on line.

So as I've re-registered and set up a blog I thought I'd write something and let you know what you may see over the coming months!

I've been on here on the previous forum as DaveC46026 so you may well have seen my various threads on there - Thorne Yard being my layout, more of which to come later, but also bits and bobs from my workbench and my local club Darlington MRC!

If you've not seen Thorne Yard or its thread - The layout is a 4mm 16.5mm gauge representation of a departmental Yard in the Midlands around 1983. It has hand built track and is DCC operated with all locos on it sound chipped! So far I've taken it to Darlington, Bishop Auckland and Thirsk, but very shortly its off to Leeds, then Blyth, Rainhill and several more exhibitions for 2010 (I presume that this is because I'm cheap and is no reflection on the quality of the layout!)

My real interest is the BR Blue period, around the time I grew up spotting then bashing and I have a real thing for all things Sulzer with the more wheels the better attitude towards it! Thank-you Bachmann for your recent release!

My other intrest is in departmental rolling stock so from time to time I'll be posting various bits and bobs from the workbench along the depatmental line as well as some slighty off topic pics of various commissions undertaken for clients!

As the club layout gets going I'll probably also include this in the Blog although Andy B and Si (MrScorn) will no doubt be chipping in with their 2 penneth!

Regards

Dave
