OldGuysRule Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Good Morning Chaps from a sunny but chilly Joburg. My name is Steve, I live in Jo'burg but I am originally from Nuneaton. I've been collecting(read- hoarding), goodies for the 'layout in my head' for the last 20 years, and after one failed attempt, I've decided to begin afresh Strangely though, I dont seem to have the room for the 'sacred layout' just yet, so im going to be building a shelf layout around my modelling room instead. Im a big fan of the old blue and yellow stuff, especially the big Class 40 & 55's, and the old HST's. Having said that, Im kind of leaning towards a preservation line running alongside a mainline with mainly DMU's running and the odd HST whizzing through... Im a firm believer that the scenics of a layout are just as(if not more so) important as the go roundy bits, and I intend devouting alot of time to the scenery. Very much looking forward to meeting and interacting with the chaps on here. Cheers Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi Jeff, there are a lot of expats here, all with the same problems trying to build/play with British railways. Mostly OO (serious modellers!) but a couple oddballs like me have tinplate stuff. All good fun! Brian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
