Thank Goodness I am not a perfectionist and model for fun, I well remember steam around Birmingham in the 1950s and enjoy watching DVDs of preserved railways back home, sadly being in Oz its a long way to visit, just running Kings, Jubilee's, Coronations, Panniers, Jintys, Patriots and a few older diesels is a total pleasure, I am building a preserved railway of my own imagination set in the High Peak area of Derbyshire modelleing the village of Castleton that never had a train running through it, what the heck this hobby is about using your own imagination and having fun, having the best preserved railways on your doorstep in the UK you are truly Blessed.

I am building an N gauge British freelance preserved railway mainly because as an expat Englishman living in Oz I cant be at home to survey any particular locoation, thanks to Google Images and photos posted form a friend on another forum I can get the feel of a particular area, I also find the mixture of steam and diesel from all regions very appealing.
