    :hismiley:Hi. Thanks for the warm welcome.
    My Layout at aged 15 [OO Scale] ~ completed, sold, then got into Radio Control Gliders.

    Always wanted to have a 'Reverse Loop' under the board to turn the trains as I got a bit dizzy running mostly clock-wise.
    The track and points were both Hornby and Peco. The points out of reach [6] used Peco PL-10 point motors.
    Other scales modelled [done] now include: HO Scale ,N Scale, and 5 inch gauge, and still got the 'thumbs' [fingers] on the gimbals flying R/C Planes..

    Great intro PC163. I remember as an 12 year old back in '81, looking through my mates Hornby catalogues thinking, I would own it all, if I could afford it !

    You certainly keep your self busy with the different layouts, the 5" trains and the R/C aircraft. Looking forward to your layout posts when you get started.

    What area of Sydney are you in ??

    Cheers, Gary.

    ps. great photo ! :thumbs:
