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!
There are many catalysts for wanting to kick-start stalled layout construction: an insirational model thread on here, attending a show... but received my Hattons 14xx yesterday has put a rocket up my motivation. I no longer want a secondary GWR main line, I want a... GWR BLT!!!
