    Hello, my name is Jack. Some of you may recognise me as I show layouts with my dad, Gary. I am Platform 1 MRC's very first junior member. I started with trains from watching Thomas the Tank Engine on tv. My first trains were the 'Thomas Take Along' and then the 'Thomas Trackmaster' sets. My mum and dad then bought me my first electric Hornby Thomas set. I have a collection of Thomas the Tank Engine locos, wagons and coaches.

    This is the layout dad built me and now I'm going to build a shunting layout with the help of my dad.

    Chow, Jack.

    :hismiley: Jack and :welcome: to the Platform 1 forum posts

    Good to see your first post and a picture of your Thomas collection on a nice looking little model railway.

    How's your new layout build progressing Jack, I hope that point I gave you is OK for your layout

    Looking forward to seeing your new layout build

    Hi Jack

    Welcome to the forum, looking forward to the layout, if your photo of your current layout is anything to go by, the new layout will be a cracker.

    Hi Jack,

    Great to see your on and posting now. I've seen photos of your first layout. Really terrific. I am looking forward to seeing your new plank take shape. A guaranteed winner I think.
    You and your dad seem to have the Australian model railway market cornered. Your exhibition photos look great as well. I'm sure that you will be a great ambassador for Platform 1.

    I am sure that you will enjoy your time with us. Thanks again for joining.

    Cheers

    Toto
