  1. I had a similar response like Tortuga in stock but then 3 weeks later well have to order from Japan
  2. I think theres one out there showing his progress on a layout he's building, still an oval of track and 1 siding. For me this is something I'm looking forward to I'll still model OO and N Scale (US & Swiss) and now have a go at BR[E]
  3. Hi all, hope this is in the right place. I am trying to find out which particular issue Hornby magazine that an article I believe based on Bradford was published it. Its a bit of a long shot but I was unable to bring my collection of magazines and books back to the UK with me. SW
  4. Yes Ive fond memories when I was stationed at High Wycombe, I'd often drive down the A40 to pick something up rather than mail order. Very helpful on a few occasions I wanted a dummy or a powered Athearn loco and if they didnt have it they'd just swap another chassis for me.
  5. Hi can anyone help me with the name of I believe an O gauge layout that was the same scene that rotated through 4 seasons and time periods? Andy
  6. Calne is somewhere Ive always I have fancied modelling, after I was given the excellent book by G Tanner
  7. It was right next to the line and I believe the buildings are still there but no longer a school.
  8. My school playground looked up to Ferrybridge Station
  9. Also check out the Middleton press book Branch Lines Of West London by Mitchell and Smith Andy
  10. Bill Bryson’s book “Made in America” is a great read on how the English language evolved in the USA. as for Arizona I preferred the climat there to where I lived in Florida any day. Andy
  11. I'm loving it I spent 12 years in FL initially for a year in DeFuniak Springs then been a photographer I was working the beach so we moved to Santa Rosa/ Miramar Beach. The rail scene has changed quite a lot but the modelling scene is amazing. I came over back in February with a view to buying a house but got stuck here. The weather is very different but im enjoying it, I remember Christmas in FL I think it was 2015 we sat outside in shorts and T Shirts it was so hot and I dont miss that at all. Having to work for a living lol has come as a shock I had got so used to living on the beach and had become 1 step up from a beach bum. Andy
  12. I’ve heard about the guy in Baker I think I was over Baghdad way with a friend and ff I remember correctly we’d were talking to an old boy at a museum/model railroad layout in Milton.
  13. I was allowed the use of my fathers 2 trainsets at holiday times only.They were both Triang Rovex sets one was a Black Princess Victoria set with some MK1 coaches and the other was a green EE Type 3 with pullman coaches set. Sadly both were stolen years ago. Been searching the internet to replace them since moving back to the UK recently.. Andy
  14. Martino Just moved back from the USA this year from Santa Rosa Beach after many many years in NW Florida. Were looking at Ideas for both an indoor and garden railway.
