40126 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi everyone. Let me introduce myself I'm Steve, I live just outside Derbyshire, in Mansfield !. I model in 7mm. I started in N, then OO (with my late father), now I'm into O gauge, better for my aging eyes !. I'm into BR Blue diesels (& late green with Tops), mainly late 60's to middle 70's. Especially Scottish themes. You will see from my following posts what I've been up to & what I'm getting upto. I have a very tutor in Lancer1027 of this parish, not to mention iploffy, Phill Dyson & Ross Peacock. That's all for now, beauty sleep time Cheers Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

railwayrod Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hello Steve, Welcome to RMweb. I started my current layout (See Ramchester Chronicles) some 5 years ago with a great deal of help from my friend Howard. My layout is well on the way with most of the scenic work completed and we are now looking at detailing, signalling, finishing the station building etc. 7mm is a great scale to model in and both Howard and I really enjoy our modelling sessions. I would not want to return to any of the smaller scales now that the 7mm bug has bitten. I am looking forward to seeing some photos of your layout/stock etc so please post some on your thread.
