Always been interested in trains, started on BR morphing into Mainline, EWS then via Chiltern, DRS, Southeastern, Overground and back to DRS.
Just got back into modelling but my modelling has been hampered for many years by trying to be a perfectionist getting right stock, wagons etc for the era. So I said sod it, it's for my enjoyment no one else's and have started building a Southern region layout. The stock is wrong, the modelling practices unorthodox and construction methods carried out on a scale of agricultural to industrial!
I still enjoy my job despite the railways being clinical and somewhat boring at times but satisfy my time searching for old railways, reading up on the history and mooching around for relics. I also like to try and imagine some of the places I work and drive to in model form, I've quite a catalogue of plans and ideas for layouts that will never be built but so what!
