Hello from North East Wales

[Martyn Wild]

Hi, just the customary new member "hello".

I've had G Scale (US Outline 1/29 scale) for over 20 years, both as an indoor exhibition layout, and a small start in the garden. Sadly both are no longer with us, due to change in circumstances over the years.
I still have all the locos and Rolling Stock, plus a decent amount of track and I am now toying with doing something outdoors again, so this seemed the ideal place to come for inspiration!

Thanks,
Martyn.

Croeso- welcome, Martyn! You'll find inspiration and advice (should you need it) on here. We are a broad church, ranging from rivet-counters to those who want something roundy-roundy in the garden. The good thing is that we are all enthusiasts and there is no snobbery: Rule 8 is strictly observed, i.e. it's your railway, so do what you like. Oh, and there is humour...apparently. I'm sure others will be along soon to greet you.

Wellcome Martyn. Yes, another to greet you has arrived. Sounds like you have all the basic ingredients in place, do tell us more so we can help get you going. I started 23 years ago US std gauge outline 1:29 like you and veered off to the 120.3 scale 3ft gauge. Of slightly riveted persuasion but that in itself is limited by my ignorance. I can only count up to 10 rivets then I'm lost. Look forward to your posts.

Hi Martyn,
Welcome aboard, I spent a fair bit of time in the 80s &90s over that way volunteering on the Llangollen railway, currently modeling Isle of man/Harz (HSB) railways.
There are no daft questions, we all started somewhere, so ask away, oh and we like pictures!
Please feel free to pop into the Coffee Lounge on the daily thread and see what we're upto or just going on about.
Anyway enjoy, it's a broad church as they say.
Cheers Fezwig/Pete
