jeff_p Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 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. Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cuckoo Line sounds like a good compromise for you, with both those Pre-Group Companies represented in SR and BR(S) days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Spencer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm normally a virtual railwayman, but when my family moves from Winchester to Alton in the summer I will effectively inherit a 00 gauge (and possibly an N gauge) layout from the previous owner. I also enjoy Football (Chelsea, Winchester City and groundhopping) and visiting preserved railways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Seager-Thomas Posted Sunday at 15:14 Share Posted Sunday at 15:14 My name is Peter and I’m on the Surrey/Sussex border. After having briefly been an LNER enthusiast in my teens, I became a post war Southern Railway enthusiast. About 40 years later I found that I had morphed into a pre-war Southern Railway enthusiast. Hopefully wishes will turn to reality this year when I make space for a layout. I have been busy collecting stock and am delighted with the pre-group stuff available. I will be aiming for a hybrid layout, part analogue part digital. Part may have a third rail. My other interests are slot car racing (I run the local club) and classic cars. I served my apprenticeship with BR. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
