Hello there,
After lurking on RMweb for probably about 2 years or so I decided to make an account. I'm a relatively young modeller from the Netherlands (21 years old), with a big interest in the British railway scene, having grown up with a certain blue locomotive from England:) I got my first model trains about 8 years ago, but quickly lost interest since I was young and didn't have a lot of money to spend on expensive Mainland European models. Then decided around the summer of 2020 or so that I did want to get model trains again, so I bought some British stock and experimented with that, which I much preferred over the German trains I had. Now it's a couple of years later and I've built up a small collection of rolling stock, almost all from the BR steam era. I don't have a permanent layout as of yet sadly since I just don't know what to build, so here's a picture of my latest model, having just arrived last week, running on a small floor layout.
I think he'll be called Victorious, the load on the Warwell is something my grandfather made 8 years or so ago. Now to think of a layout for it to run on...
And to quickly edit in my main modelling interests:
-BR steam / BR green era, particularly with an interest in East Anglia
-British Industrial railways, preferably in an urban setting
And although not something I'll model in the near future, the Dutch railway scene from 1968 to about 2001 is also something I quite like.
Greetings,
Treinenliefde
