Another new member

… through various posts and have learned a lot from yourselves one article in particular from last April(2016) about which is the best controller to start with in DCC. All my equipment is from Hornby at the moment a double oval track with seven points, controlled by two Hornby decoders and a select controller, but it seems by popular feedback on this topic that there are better starting controllers available. Now here is where my lack of knowledge shows through. If I went for a different make of …

Other hobbies include collecting sci-fi toys, anything to do with steam engines, real tractors, etc. I'm renovating a 1941 Allis Chalmers B, to working condition.

I used to have a large-ish OO gauge layout, but having had a 50 year break, (Hohoho), I'm now back with a compact (4'6" x 2&#0…

Never too late...?!!

…to do it on this site was most helpful.

After 66 years of deprivation, I have recently (last year) started on the learning curve that is railway modelling - well, not quite modelling yet.  Interest began after I bought a second hand 'Flying Scotsman' (sans tender, so just push along) for my 4 yr old grandson to play with. 

Since then I've bought a few more locomotives - some from the Thomas the tank engine series, Hogwarts Express, and others that revive me…

…riang Jinty and four trucks . The track was mounted on grey plastic .
We ( mainly dad ) added bits and pieces to the set until it was large enough to be mounted on a baseboard around 6 x 4 ft . The board had to be kept in the garden shed because there was no room in the house . The running stock and furniture was in a wooden box under my bed .Every time that I wanted to play trains , dad helped me in with the baseboard and off we went- until one visit to the shed when I was nine resulted in…

Hello from the Frozen North...

…illing layout like you see on magazine covers here in the US.
But there was no way I could pull that off with my skills, space, and budget.  So my collection went off to the care of my nephew.

A few weeks ago at a family Christmas get together, said  nephew brought a couple of magazines on British model railways.  I had been thinking about getting back into the hobby, and thought that this would be an interesting change of pace.
