and a warm to Rosspop from a very cold Dundee. Glad you decided to join us here at platform1mrc. Were a friendly bunch who love to blether about model railways, and have also be known to do a spot of modelling . Settle, in, and when you are ready please introduce yourself, we'd love to hear about yourself and your modelling adventures. Once again welcome to the forum Paul
Rosspop. Great to have you with us. I'll look forward to hearing about what you are up to in the hobby. Hope you enjoy your stay with us. Cheers for now Toto
G'day Rosspop, Welcome aboard from Sydney. Get yourself settled in, have a good look around, read up and join in the camaraderie and banter that is P1MRC. Looking forward to your first post and any questions you may have. Then again, I may have some for you ! Cheers, Gary.
Thanks for the welcome folks Will have a look around and then post some stuff on what I`m up to on the modelling front Cheers John
Ok here goes, I`ve been a serious railway modeller since 1975( well really since 1962) but took time out to get a career and wife etc.Started with N guage then on to kit building in 00 gauge, stayed with 4mm right up until 2008 when I slowly moved over to 7mm O Gauge. Made an exhibition layout back in 1997....... ew project.jpg In 7mm I`m mainly a kit/scratch builder and have been developing a working collection of LMS and GWR locos and rolling stock.I`m building a GWR end to end diorama project of a typical wooden platform scene based on a protoype location but not completely the same. I`m a recent convert to DCC sound.... Here is a short vid of my only kit built GWR diesel..... .https://youtu.be/4mnGR-Or-wY Plus an LMS loco https://youtu.be/4zevx_Dx8IE Cheers John Attached files
and Rosspop (John) to Platform1 from a very warm land Down Under Great to have you Aboard Great intro to yourself watched and enjoyed a few of your videos Looking forward to seeing more of your fine modelling Again and enjoy your time here.
Hi John, welcome aboard and thanks for posting your videos up. A couple of very nice builds. I also like your white metal buffers. Where did you get these ? Looking forward to seeing more of the same. cheers toto
Welcome Rosspop , great intro . Really liked your videos, the GWR railcar is a really nice model and the sound is excellent! Cheer's, Pete.
Thanks everyone, Toto: The white metal buffer kits are GWR type from Adrian Swain aka ABS models. unfortunately he does`nt do a website and usually attends the big O gauge shows. My understanding is that at the moment he is unwell/recovering and is out of action. John
That's a shame. They look really good. I'll maybe keep an eye open at the shows just in case. Thanks for the low down.
Rosspop wrote: Thanks for the info John. From what I've heard, Adrian is a little difficult to buy stuff from at the best of times. I believe he owns the Wrightlines range of products after Kay gave it up. I would love to get another Baldwin kit and a couple of the Ashover Gloucester coach kits, but I haven't seen any for ages. Cheer's, Pete.
