Intoducing myself

[BernieL]

Hi, I have been inspired by reading RM web for many years. Thanks for a wonderful reference library to the hobby.  An avid railway fan as a youngster with a Triang Princes, but life happens.  Now retired and living in lock down in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne Australia, I finally started modelling.  A fan of steam era,  I like Stanier LMS designs and BR std designs.  I have visited the Severn Valley Railway twice now and am very impressed.  An empty nest brings spare rooms.  So, I am trying a shelf around the room layout, just a single line and single station to keep it simple (ish) and allow the room to remain usable.  Not following any specific location, thinking of a fictional heritage railway to allow use of models that appeal and are available and/or on special (offer).  Progress is slow while rework and injury are frequent so far.  Everyone has their share of mistakes, I am just greedy. ;-)
