Hello from Goring

[Fitz Orchard]

So glad to have found this group. Bought a load of LGB/Bachmann etc about 30 years ago while living in US to entertain children and got hooked. Been boxed up in loft for years. Now retired and planning to start again. I am sure I will have lots of questions and this forum looks awesome to access experts. I will be back! Fitz

Yes indeed we are in the Gap and close to Thames.

Hello David. Great to have a kindred spirit nearby. I assume you use GRS in Princes Risborough for supplies? They seem pretty good and always helpful. Fitz.

Welcome to the Forum, Fitz. Do take some pictures of your setup: we  like pictures! Oh, and I'll apologise now for the humour on here. It can be terrible. And on a bad day, it's even worse...

 

[Paul M]

Welcome Fitz, youll get any advice you need on here, sometimes not even rail related.

Greetings Fitz from tiddly tiny land. Fire away with the questions as there are a lot of experts here and some even agree with each other. Ignore the doom and gloom merchants, the humour here is perfectly normal and rational. Take for instance:

Ps Wierdly I am also actually a David.

That's going to cause a little confusion. What if we just call you Bruce just to keep it clear?
