Hi All,  thanks for the add to the site.  I come from a background of modelling in general, war-gaming figures and slot cars more recently.  Loved train sets as a youth and now have the time and money to build. 
Looking at recreating Great Yarmouth  Beach Station, (M & GN),  on the east coast in the 50s' and 60s,.  I lived 50 yards from the station and remember playing on the disused platforms as a boy and in the bomb pit which was the extended sidings to the north of the site.

Regards

Gary

Hi Gary.

Welcome to the superb YMRC  :)

I am very new here myself but have found the forum to be very friendly and helpful. Best one I use.

The idea for a lay out you have sounds fantastic, looking forward to seeing how it develops.

All the best, John :)

:hi Gary.

Hi Gary and welcome to the forum from a wet and windy part of France today.

It sounds as if you have the perfect motivation for recreating a version of Great Yarmouth Beach, with that personal experience from your formative years, so all the best and enjoy the research and layout development.

Hello Gary,
A warm welcome from the sunnier climate in Spain.
Good luck with your project on Yarmouth station.
Being an old country boy from Suffolk, my project is Ipswich station - or based on it given space restraints.
The chaps and chapess's on here are a friendly bunch and very knowledgeable and I am sure many will be able to assist you with your era of modelling.

A welcome from North Norfolk, Where just up the line from Beach station was Catfield Station, and about 200 yards from there is Broadland MRC of which I'm a member, living 5 miles from that.




Hope this helps.

Are you going to just the station to a fiddle yard or hoping to include a destination?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.  
Looking at the track plans there are many sidings which could make the layout complicated in terms of size. I will have to rationalise the plan and take advice if there are any glaring errors.  I was looking at having a run round circuit with the station building and sidings as a working area.  I have 6 boards 400 × 1220 and more of a non specific size. Modelling in 00 scale.  Know catfield, saw 2 clubs in that location.  Gary

The two MRCs, Share a wall in adjoining rooms, they were one club at one time based elsewhere.
I'll stay out of the politics on that one!!
