G'day all, thought i should introduce myself , seeing i have spent so much time reading the forums allready.
I am new to garden railways, modeled in "oo" gauge when i was a kid,probably where i developed my interest in the gwr.
Too many decades later i have just started out in gauge 1 . I have a couple of northern finescale kits of 9 ft 5 planks i am building.Once they are finished, i also bought some chassis components and wheels to have a go at scratch building some wagons, probably 1 will be a shunters truck ( i know not very useful ) , but i love the look of them and for me model railways is about having fun.I have a nice large spot in the garden and 20ft shipping container earmarked for my railway. Hope to post progress pics as i go ,should be able to start around jan/feb 2018.
I will undoubtedly have many questions and hope to keep them coherent and not on subjects asked about dozens of times before.
cheers

). Look forward to pictures - especially when we, in Northern Hemisphere, plumb the depths of winter!
. All jokes aside if i have something worth running on would be fun to have you around and run some trains and fire up the barbie and have beer or 2.
