Good morning all, So today is the day I thought I would finally say hello to you all over here on RMweb, I must admit I've been a bit slow joining the party , but anyway im here now!! 

 

About me.. 

Well I live on the Shropshire/ Herefordshire boarder not far from Ludlow , Im 39, married, 2 little girls (2/5) and as it stands at the moment a full-time job working in a garage.

 

My modeling Story

 

Well my modelling interest start off with me following the love of watching my father build his 1/35th military vehicles, I would attempt the basic Airfix aircraft kits and in my eyes at the time they were pretty dam good , but in reality they were shocking!! 

 

So Trains where did they come in? 

Well My friend at school had a railway and I use to go over to his to play ,I think I fell in love with the modelling and movement aspect..  Fast forward a little and my father build me a layout , a good old round and round 8x4 jobbie which I loved.. But as I grew up sadly girls and cars over took my life and wallet.The railway was all sold off and that was that.! Then about 12 years ago I had ago at a model tank and built a little dio , really enjoying the build progress I built another and another , and another. Soon it was getting out of hand and I had a whole room to myself just for this stuff.. We moved house and alot of my model stuff was boxed and put up in the roof, We had the birth of our first child which I found very hard to adjust to being a dad but with doing the DIY I found that took my mind of things.With the house done and second child on the way the worries and anxiety kicked in again.But something in the back of my ignited that railway memory from year's back, So 2018  I found myself at the N.E.C and Warley.. Totally overwhelmed by the shear size of the event  to the point I nearly turned around and left, but I forced myself to stay and buy something and with a length of flexi a loco and a little house from Petite Properties my railway journey began.

Welcome aboard the wonderful hobby of railway modelling.

 

With the present restrictions you are of course limited, as the great source of inspiration for many, the model railway exhibitions are all on hold.

 

But please do excuse the pun that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully model railway exhibitions will start to happen later this year.

 

In the meantime there is a lot of information here on RMWEB for you to look through or if you have question, just ask, we all have to start somewhere.

 

As well as the model railway magazines you will be amazed how much information and inspiration there is on YouTube from videos on railway exhibitions and many instructional videos 

 

Enjoy your modelling.

Look forward to seeing this develop.
