  8. 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

    Regards.Ray 

     

  9. I'm finding simple things difficult lol. I have managed to carry out a control change on a signal  and thats about it. It did involve five track circuits and three lots of point detection but was succesful all the same. (OO gauge, steering clear of the bigger stuff for a bit)

      Hope you get better soon Richard - in the meantime I'm glad the little railway keeps you going.

  12. I booked xmas off so loads of modelling time. Was feeling a bit down that it was nearing the time to return to work. Feeling down turned to feeling ill. One positive test later.

  13. Just fishing in the rivers of life

  14. The lacerations of 2020 continue into 2021. It has to get better at some point... doesn't it?

      Can't argue with that - Ive been in hospital since 0400 - Happy New Year I was greeted with a A&E (for an E, not an A) - somewhat ironic since I was there because I was ill !

  17. POPPY APPEAL

     

    Due to current circumstances, the British Legion poppy appeal is having difficulty this year, as it's not always possible to have the normal stands and personal collections. So keep an eye out (SWMBO ran into one stand at Cobham Services en route to Heathrow), or think of alternative ways to donate. My youngest daughter's school in Dover is selling metal poppy badges, for example.
