Hi from Cardiff

Hi AllJust joined.
I have got an empty garage that needs filling  ;-) ;-)
Bought loads of OO gauge stuff many years ago but working abroad and grandchildren have prevented a start.
Now it is on!
Design, Revision 22, just about complete.
I spend around a total of 6 months in Cyprus so need to get a move on.
Cheers

Hello from new member, Gromit

…brand. I don't have a lot of space so I'm looking at a shelf shunting layout and searching high and low for inspiration. I bought a Hornby mixed freight set to have a couple of small dcc locos and some wagons. I also bought extra points, wagons and track so I wasn't stuck with the mindless loop! I've set up an inglenook layout as a starting point but I'm trying to find something with a little more variation. Looking at your website I found a layout with French labels tha…

Small O Gauge layout

… my 12ft x 8ft shed.
I have decided to use one side of the shed so this is about 11ft6inch x 2ft6inch.
All sounds straight forward .
Problem is I just get stuck on how to go about it.
I would like to make an Industrial type layout so small tank locos and wagons would be nice shunting wagons around would be great fun.
I would be very grateful for some advice on how best to make a start.
Sorry if this sounds silly but I just come to a halt when trying to work out wha…

Hello from North Yorkshire

…red by other people’s work on this forum.
So I went and treated myself to a Connoisseur Jinty, some Parkside and Slaters wagon kits.
I have also decided to build my own track and have managed to find an area of 11’6” by 2’6” to build a layout on.
I’m thinking Industrial type layout any advice would be very we…

Hi from Tamworth

…ay industry but have loved the railways seen i was able to stand, I used to collect OO but move to O now I'm finally in a position to build a layout.
It will be 14' by 8' L 2' wide, based on a fewi things I like so really free lance if you like.
More than likely all steam tanks as I'm not sure I can accommodate a large enough curve.
I am in GOG and 7mmnga.org.uk so some where there will be a narrow gauge line, probably beer oriented.

Any commenc…

Hello from the Hebrides

Just checking in to say hello.

I live on the Hebridean island of Islay which is great for whisky, but not for access to model shops, model railway clubs or shows.

In my retirement, I have returned to the hobbies of my childhood, amateur radio (MM0UMH) and (recently) model trains. I've only just started putting my layout together and I suspect that I will be looking for a fair bit of advice.

Hello from Queensland AU

…el railway clubs and one scratchbuilt SIG to learn as much about the hobby as possible from like minded persons.

I don't have a layout as yet (call it a work-in-progress), but have plans for a HO layout to fit into my 9' x 9' third bedroom/study. I'll use 4' x 2' (or smaller) aluminium modules with two inch EPS foam baseboards. 
  
My model railway interests are:

• modern North American HO & N scale;
• modelling HO & N sc
