    Thanks for the warm welcome!

    I've always loved model railways and a potted history includes Lego trains, Push-along Lone Star OOO, Clockwork Hornby OO, 'Proper' Hornby/Lima OO, O gauge & L gauge (Lego trains again, as an adult). As usual, life gets in the way but I'm now determined to find more time for the hobby.

    Currently collecting track and stock to build an O gauge layout based on 1960-65 during he transition period. I had to abandon my last attempt due to a house move. I also have a reasonable collection of the more robust Hornby OO from the late 1970s which would make a great layout for my Grandson as an alternative to L-gauge (he's a bit too young for both).

    Jon.

    Hi Jon, welcome, probably my first train set, the old Push-along Lonestar OOO, even ran it between centre rail and an outer rail of TTR Bakelite track, points were a problem though :avatar:
