Should I have said "Hi" in here?

I'll keep in brief:

Hi.  I'm Jeff and I have a problem  ... hang on, that's the other group

Seriously now.

The wife and I have been living in the Uckfield area for a few years now, and a couple of years ago thought "shall we try to build a model railway?" and that's when the trouble started.  Since then I've been trying to combine every possible interest I have with that objective so, naturally, progress has been unpredictable.  Her interest? Anything other than that which I am interested in.  My interest?  Southern post grouping, though I keep looking back to pre-grouping SECR and LBSCR and going "hmmmm".

Already know a few of the local guys on here as a result of joining the local club.

Hi Pete, another one of those "late to see this thread" people here.  All I can say is how awe stuck and impressed my wife and I are. Amazing work.

Jeff.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I am looking forward to digging into the archives and collective wisdom of RMweb but I'm also fairly sure I'll be a good source of silly questions as time goes by.

Jeff.

Hello all,

New to the forum, though I've been a member of other forums over the years (both modelling and other interests).  Not new to model railways, but only lately got more seriously back into it.  I'm now trying to take a step forward and up on this front now that time is more readily available (not actually a result of the recent difficulties) and I have the capacity to take on a long term project.

My interests are primarily Southern '20s and '30s in 00, though the wife likes any big steam engine, preferably blue (definitely not green).  As well as a layout, I have a couple of engine kits I need to build along with some other bits and pieces. Being a bit of computer person (it did pay the bills) I've also enjoyed digging into DCC and the potential this offers through the like of JMRI etc.

I suppose I ought to say more, but I'm not sure what would be useful or interesting to know?

Cheers,

Jeff.
