ACR2023

Hi,

I have been lurking in the shadows for a couple of months and have finally joined this very entertaining community, having been amazed by the depth of knowledge displayed.

I have already learnt a great deal and hope that continues.

Although now based in what would have been SR territory, I am drawn (from an early age) to the GWR steam era.

I’ve had an 8 x 4 OO layout (nothing more than a couple of ovals with a shunting yard in the middle) for years, which due to space limitations spent half the time set up on a spare bed and the rest propped against the wall.  I discovered DCC++ a while back and recently adopted DCC-EX and am now messing with block detection.

Now that we have moved, I finally have space for a permanent layout, albeit not as grand as many on here, but hopefully I can progress from a simple “train set” to a more realistic setup.

I will be staying with OO as N & TT are too fiddly for my old hands and I don’t have room for O gauge.

Well enough about me, see you later
