A warm to clive_t from Dundee. Glad you decided to join us at platform1mrc, settle in and when your ready please introduce yourself to the forum, we'd love to hear about yourself and your modelling exploits. Once again welcome to the forum Paul
Thanks for the welcome! Clive here, from Portsmouth. I guess like many I have dabbled in the more popular scales of railway modelling, (OO, N etc), although in my later years I was drawn to large scale, and specifically garden-scale railways. I started building a line out in my garden back in 2002, but over the past 5 or 6 years I have allowed it to decline, and be over-run by weeds, ivy and such like. This year, and with the very vocal encouragement of a 2-year-old (my grandson William) I have made a start on resurrecting it. In doing so I have resurrected my interest in railway layouts and railway modelling generally. So that's me! Cheers, Clive
Hi Clive, We are all drooling here. I am looking forward to seeing some pictures of your garden layout whatever condition its in. the revival will make it all the more exciting. excellent to see someone throwing themselves striaght in on joining. A big welcome from me. toto
Thanks for the replies, I guess I need to open up a new thread in the 'Members Personal Layouts' bit... Give me a moment and I will try and work out how to post pics! I have quite a few on PhotoBucket, so if it's that mechanism then I am halfway there. Cheers, Clive
Hi Clive Here's the link to the photo gallery how to, it's been a while since I've read it so I hope its correct Gallery How to and for videos, we tend to use Youtube links Inserting YouTube videos Looking forward to the posts Paul
Hi Clive from a rather damp Spain at the moment ... sounds very interesting you're garden railway it must throw up all manner of problems ... insects .. weather .. animals .. goats .. Ian
Thanks for those links Paul. I think I have managed to make my first post with pics, so let's see how we get on Cheers, Clive

I'm glad you done your homework Clive otherwise confusion may have reigned. The goats are a bit of a forum mascot. ....... Just as well we don't take things too seriously here. a sense of insanity goes a long way. Cheers
Ah that's a relief, I was worried that my sense of humour might have singled me out - sounds like I will be all but going unnoticed
& Clive _ t from a very sunny Australia it's great to have you aboard you have slotted in nicely already. You have mastered posting so no need to encourage you on that front, looking forward to your adventures with Garden railways. Going to pop over to your thread now and have a little look. Again a Big Platform1 http://www.click
G'day Clive, Welcome aboard from cool and windy Sydney. Loads to look at here and it seems like you have settled in ok. I too will be going to have a look at your garden railway thread. Enjoy the forum and just beware, that goat may bite ! Cheers, Gary.
