and a warm to Peter Beckett, glad you decided to join us here at platform1mrc. Were a friendly bunch and love to blether about .... well just about anything really, but do tend to focus on model railways and the occational goat (you'll find out about the goats, so I wont spoil the discovery). Settle in and when you're ready please introduce yourself to the forum, and tell us a bit about yourself and your modelling interests and adventures. Once again welcome to the forum Paul
Hi Peter to the forum. Hope you enjoy your time at Platform1. Feel free to post up a bit about yourself and what you are up to. Cheers Toto
Hi Toto and Andrew, Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been railway modelling since 1971 when living in Hertford (My uncle was a LNER fan) I now model BR but the early years after Nationalisation up to about 1968. This allows me (with a bit of modellers licence) to run green diesels and steam. I favour the LMR area of BR (I was born in Nelson, Lancs) but the L&Y is a bit early for me. I use DCC (Digitrax) and all my locos are decoder fitted. About 11 are sound fitted and at present am experimenting with Loksounds Full Throttle system. Cheers Peter PS I have added my avatar. Photo was taken Carlisle on 10th July this year after travelling from York on The Waverly headed by Flying Scotsman
