A picture I took of my Dad's railway shortly before it went to a new home. I'm not normally good at taking pictures, but I was very pleased with this one.

My name is Peter and I’m on the Surrey/Sussex border. After having briefly been an LNER enthusiast in my teens, I became a post war Southern Railway enthusiast. About 40 years later I found that I had morphed into a pre-war Southern Railway enthusiast. Hopefully wishes will turn to reality this year when I make space for a layout. I have been busy collecting stock and am delighted with the pre-group stuff available. I will be aiming for a hybrid layout, part analogue part digital. Part may have a third rail. My other interests are slot car racing (I run the local club) and classic cars. I served my apprenticeship with BR.

A pair of ball bearings with a strap each side would do it. Set the bearings the appropriate distance apart..........

Garages become much more friendly if they are carpeted. Second-hand stuff of course......

Inspirational indeed!

Now gone to a new home. All a few years old, a couple of the hardeners have gone off. Tiranti and Formite products. I'll make up a list or maybe find the old one.... Located in West Sussex, near Loxwood. Peter.

I used to be into BSAs. I wonder what this one would be worth now. Ex-Vesco. Peter.

I shall watch this with interest. What a wonderful idea to model this system. My modest knowledge is limited to the Croydon line and perhaps more, the proposed Portsmouth Atmospheric line. Thank-you for your content so far. Peter

I used to use them regularly for slot car racing stuff. I've never had a problem with them, and their communication has always been excellent. Peter

All the 1980s stuff has now been recycled, the rest remain for a while. Peter.
