    Have been lurking around for sometime now, both on the old RMweb and here on the new site. I am still having image issuses so I won't put any on here till that is resolved, but there are pictures at www.freewebs.com/nguagingwilliam. I have been interested in modeling trains for some twenty years and have built several over the years, some good some not. All have been a learning experience; now my two boys are interested and we spend time together playing and modeling. Gloucester Road is not based anywhere, its just trying to get the feeling of home which we visit every other year. Living in America one relies on trips, photos, memories and the internet for modeling inspiration and now, hopefully, feedback from fellow modellers here on RMweb.
     
    I have two layouts at the minute, one is Gloucester Road and the other is very portable (unnamed at the minute will take suggestions). I was inspired by all the fantastic boxfile layouts, mine is in a shadow box and uses Scalescene products exclusively. My hope is to take it out much as Sandhills does with his portable layouts.
     
    Gloucester Road began towards the end of 2003. Built in N guage it measures 6ft long and 2 ft wide; all track is Peco with isolating switches. Buildings are from Graham Farish, Hornby, Metcalf and Scalscenes.com with rolling stock from Farish, Dapol,ATM, Peco, Minitrix, and N-Thusiast Resprays. Starting last year an extention was added that adds anothe 6 foot branch line.

    By Gloucester Road,

    Did some work over the tunnel that leads to Upper Brimsley, grass and heather has grown and filled in nicely. Just tried uploading an image and got an error so will try again later.

    My sons A4 Seagull made an appearance today. My son is nuts over steam traction where as my other boy loves diesels, so we have charter trains often pulled by Seagull. Our last two visits to England we have gone to the NRM in York where we sit infront of Mallard for ages. When we purchased Seagull we were going to runumber and name it Mallard, but he seems happy to leave Seagull alone.
