    Hi this is to introduce my self to fellow modellers alike.

    My name is Raymond Trew. I currently live in West Sussex. I am a  member of the N-gauge society .I model around the scale of 2mm ish

    vehicles,ships, planes and railways.

    I have been modelling for a number of years and visit railway shows around the South.

    I was born in Wallsend Northumberland. in 1951 . My Grandparents lived and worked at Backworth pit. (hence my interest in Backworth pit). I have lived in numerous parts of the world as my father served

    in the R.A.F.  On the occupation side I have mostly worked in the aviation industry for over 40 years finally retireing as a Senior Flight Despatcher ,with one of the major Handling agents at Gatwick.

    During my  time of occupation which started with piston airliners going on to turbioprop   then finaly jet aircraft.

    My other hobbies were Scuba diving and rebuilding full scale light aircraft which were then flown by our group.

    If you wish to contact me please do so at  trewisin@gmail.com

      Hi, Welcome to RMWeb.

      It's a huge reservoir of knowledge, ideas, inspiration and friendship. :smile_mini2:

      (One thing to get used to is the difference between public and private messages. But don't worry - lots of people don't get it right! It's an ongoing thing... :wink_mini: )

    Hi Richard , Ive been watching your blog for a while and you have brought back fond memories.as I come from Backworth originaly born in Wallsend but my Mothers family were from Backworth. My Grand father worked at the pit and retired afer being a miner and then working in the blacksmiths shop. From your original blog i think you also said you were from this area before going to Scootland. I am also thinking of building a layout of Backworth but i think i would need a hangar to put it in .I can remember visiting my Grandparents home during scool holidays and on return from overseas postings (my father served in the R.A.F.) At one stage iwent to the original backworth primary school ,I can remember riding on the footplate of J94s a nd seeing the introduction of the Sentinal deisel loco before the class 14s. Ithink your doing a marvellous job keep it up would like to see somebody do a kit of the RCH wagons as they are special to the area. your P4 wagons are close. Keep up the good work.Ray.
