Born and raised in the East Riding, save for degree studies in the big smoke. Unfortunately almost at the opposite end of the Tees-Exe line for the GWR!
Currently building up (hoarding) my fleet, and taking my first steps in scratch & kit building, via modifying RTR! The dream? A secondary GWR mainline in the winter/spring of 1946/7, with plenty of operating interest, and justification to run all classes of Swindon's finest!
Has finally dived into working with brass and ordered coach sides for some RTR upgrades... Let's hope I can add a C70, C73 & E153 to my coaching fleet!
The Bachmann Colletts. Picked up two C77's and one E159 for the purpose. If these go well I might become more adventurous - corridor composites and brake thirds may follow! Lack of GWR stock in Hornby's announcements has finally forced me to act.
