Hiya Marty,
                   I've not been posting too much lately because I've actually begun work on a new layout in my daughter's old room.I'm actually running trains on this one!!
 I'll get a thread started on it as soon as I can get around to it,its Great Western and LMS 1930s mainline roundy roundy,and its great having a dedicated room,or man-cave,as I call it!
 I keep looking in to see how all the old gang are doing and keep up to date with whats going on.Its hard to keep track these days with so many new members and layouts,but there are some real crackers on here now.
 Keep an eye out for the new thread mate.

Cheers,John.B.:thumbs

Hi John,
Great to see back posting and with a new railway and room to boot.
Model mojo is a damn elusive thing. One moment its all over you then seems to drift away like a puff of smoke.
Maybe some super glue will help us.

regards,

Derek.

I managed to get myself up and onto the viaduct.

I too have been captured by the magic of this line and hope to amass enough information to make a stab at a reasonable model of Perranporth station its self. So a big thank you to all who have contributed to this thread its been such a mine of information!
