georgeT Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hello, very new to O gauge after 40+ years in 00, tried building a few Parkside wagons and enjoyed it, so l thought l would try a loco, l bought a Haywood G6 southern tank 0-6-0, took me about 4 months to complete after about 4 or 5 complete strip down and start again, but l must say that l learned more about a steam loco, with brake block pulling rods and everything else, think l should have started this years ago georgeT[/font] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pint of Adnams Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi George, and welcome, We were all new to O gauge at one time, and somehow most of us started with a wagon kit, 'just to see what they were like'. Did you choose a Southern loco because you had already built Southern wagons (if that is what they are) or just because you liked the look of either the loco or the kit? A lot of people start with a Connoisseur kit, what did you think of the Haywood one? Have you any photos to post? Have you found the 'Roaring Forties' area yet, in Social Zone > Groups? Hopefully it will become a useful meeting place and resource centre, maybe see you there? PoA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 19, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well done. I'm glad that another 00 modeller has seen the light. I started with a coach kit to put on the mantlepiece but after 2 weeks of building decided to go ino O gauge. I then needed a layout to run the coach on and another 7 to go with it plus the right locos to pull them. It took me some time but it's worth it.
