    Hi,
    I’m David from New Zealand,I’ve been into model railways since I was a young boy living in England.My late brother was a big influence getting into this hobby.
    When I came to NZ nearly 50 years ago the hobby took a back seat while bringing up a family,since all the kids left home I’ve got back into it big time.
    Twenty odd years ago I joined a local British model railway club of which I’m the president of now.
    I have 3 layouts in my garage which are pretty much finished,one of which belongs to the club,I’m housing it due to lack of space at our club rooms,that’s a OO Gauge British country scene with station.
    I also have an end to end shelf layout about 6 metres long and also a small OO9 narrow gauge based on a Welsh slate area.
    I’ve just started building a O gauge end to end hence the help I asked for ,Thanks for that.Probably will be asking for more help as I progress.
    Thanks for accepting my membership
    Cheers David

    G`day David and welcome to the forum,
    Thanks for sharing the details of your layouts and I`m sure we`d all love to see some pics of them with some info about the builds as well

    Hi David

    Great to have you onboard, like yourself I moved to O gauge and I'm loving it.

    Just ask away and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

    Paul
