    'ello, saw the light was on, thought I'd drop in.
    ... I don't eat much! Hope you don't mind?
    Just a quick intro from me then.
    Modelling GWR West Wales N Gauge layout in a dedicated re-purposed bedroom for about 7 years now. Enjoying the journey, don't ever think it will be finished. Fascinated by the diversity of the hobby and the things I learn and toys/tools I get to play with.
    I enjoy sharing the experience and here's a taster from about 6 months ago....

    Most of the layout still looks like this....

    I'll start a layout thread shortly...

    cheers

    Cheers Kim,
    Gotta balance out the obvious membership skew to those living north of Hadrian's Wall!
    I enjoy the scenery side of things best I reckon.
    cheers

    Well, seeing is believing. There is only one Marty that I know who produces scenery like that. Beautiful work as always good sir.

    Welcome aboard. Truly fantastic to hear from you again and get the chance to see your work again. Get your feet up and I'll look forward to seeing more of what you've been up to when you get bedded in. ......... Here's to the rest of the journey.

    Cheers

    Hi Marty,

    Looking forward to it. I know a few others that will be too. Hope you are well and ready to treat us to what you've been up to over the last couple of months.

    I get the feeling our picture galleries are about to burst to life with some of the best landscape images known to man......:avatar:

    Once again, thrilled to have you gracing our screens.

    Cheers

    Toto

    Welcome aboard Marty.

    I trust you'll find the forum easy to navigate. I'll echo all the above comments regarding Newcastle Emlyn. Great work, great skill. Get that layout thread going, please ! ;)

    Cheers, Gary.
