Southern Railway exLSWR in the early 1930's. I used to do EM but now I only seem to model 7mm. I mainly construct locos coaches and wagons from kits for sale, this is to finance the models I want to go towards my layout eventually.
My interests outside modelling are golf at which I hope I am improving, don't really play enough to get really good. My wife and I are learning to ride horses which is brilliant fun. Then of course there is travelling. We intent to explore as much of South America as we can, and of coarse we love to go around Europe.
I don't think it's possible to make a "proper" model railway without getting hands-on to some extent. And a lot of people here are doing a lot of hands-on work with the help of RMWeb.
I would hope so, I didn't make the effort to end up with a string of letters after my name just to do work and get my hands dirty. That's what the paid help is for.
