    Thank you Paul, Ian and Toto, for the warm welcome... I see a lot of interesting projects in progress on here. While I don't get a lot of time for foruming (is that a word) ...... I will do my best to drop in here when I can and have a good read, and chip in If I can help someone out.

    I just posted a reply to the thread that Gary started about our business..... https://platform1mrc.com/p1mrc/index.php?threads/purple-bobs-hobbies-7mm-card-kits.4218/ Hopefully it answers some of the questions that were asked about us.

    Best Regards,
    Purple Bob.

    Good morning Purple Bob:welcome: to Cornwall yes it is overcast and humid at the moment hopefully it will clear and the big yellow and Orange thing will break through, as we have a Steam Rally to attend at Boconnoc tomorrow until Sunday.Being Cornish myself we are so used to changes in the weather as its so unpredictable.
    Hope you enjoy your holiday.
    Regards,
    Gloria.

    G'day Purple Bob,

    Welcome aboard from a balmy winters day in Sydney. Glad you found us here, isn't a google search wonderful ?? As you are aware, there are plenty of great projects, layouts, tutorials and more here to read about. Now that you have settled in, I'm sure there will be more questions directed towards you about your O gauge kits. I know I'm interested in one....

    Cheers, Gary.

    Hello and welcome to the forum PurpleBob, great to have you on board mate :thumbs:.
    Just been having a gander at your website and products, do the terrace house fronts match up with the house backs?

    Cheer's, Pete.

    Yes Gloria... I'm in St Erth. :avatar:

    G'day to you too Gary... It's your thread that got me here. LOL Thank you!

    Yes Pete... They do indeed match. In fact the terraced backs kit comes with extra parts (wall ends and roof) that allow you to join it seamlessly to the terraced front kits.

    Thank you Kim, Pleased to be here.

    Best Regards,
    Purple Bob.

    Sounds like fun Gloria, I bet we've met at some point and don't even know! :hismiley:

    What Gauge are you running?? I have a 7-1/4" Gauge narrow gauge locomotive I built a good few years ago. I don't get chance to run it much though. Partly because work keeps me busy and partly because there's not much in the way of track around here.

    Best Regards
    Purple Bob.

    Mullion Cove is a really beautiful place Andy. Have a nice holiday. It's a bit busy at this time of year, but the scenery is spectacular down on the Lizard.

    Best Regards,
    Purple Bob.
