TJAMC Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hi All, I’m Toby and I am relatively new to RMWeb, so a little bit about myself. During the 80's I grew up near Westbury Station (Wiltshire) and a friend and I would wander down to the station to watch the traction that frequented the area during that time, occasionally we were invited to mooch around the stabling point. Back then my parents bought me N Gauge set and then this was put away once I discovered the opposite sex. I am now progressing into middle age so I thought it would be a good idea to get re-introduced to the hobby that bought so much enjoyment back then as well as a hobby that will take me into retirement. After being introduced by a close friend to a local Model Railway Club that mainly operate in 7mm, I have decided that this would be a nice gauge to start my first project in the confines of my garage. Welcome to what will be known as Redding Grove - TMD. At the present time I am nearing the end of converting what was once a garage that stored everything bar a car and once it was cleared out this has become my railway room. I am limited to what I can actually operate due to modelling in O Gauge so hence why I have settled on a TMD as well as bringing back some childhood memories. I will post some pictures as to my progress once I have downloaded them from my phone. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
