Hello from Derby (and Normandy)

[Philip D]

Hi!  I'm Phil, based in Derby but sometimes in Normandie. Re-discovered model railways late last year thanks to Andy at A2B, joined the Mickleover club, and am now the proud owner of 'Northworthy', re-imagined as a Southern Region station in the mid 60's, and available for exhibitions. Also working on a project to build a model of a 1920's French steam tramway in OO9 (I love a challenge), so will be looking for some hints and tips on where to find suitable models beyond my Jouef Decauville set.

 

Cheers

 

Phil

Bonjour, Phil!

Welcome from a former member of the Mickleover group who still takes an interest in French railways.

I see that you've met Poor Old Bruce (Richard), there's quite a few other members on here too.

Cheers,

John (Edge).

Hello Phil

 

I'm here (and have been for many years!) - as John has said above, there are several club members lurking in the background who pop up every now and again !

 

We do have a few narrow gauge modellers in the Club and there is a local area group of the OO9 Society. I seem to recall that there is also a OO9 exhibition at Mansfield in the Summer but I can't find any details yet. Of course, as Treasurer, I have to remind you that annual subs are due ! !

 

Regards

 

Mike
