Good to know there are a lot of Brits here! Love your humor and your passion for railroading be it model or proto. I’m from a small coal mining town in southwestern PA. I’ve been model railroading for 30 years and am 74 years young. I joined this forum and look forward to your help and conversations regarding G Scale!

Welcome to the Madhouse of GSC, it's actually a UK based forum (hence there being so many of us here!) but we always extend a very warm welcome to our ex-colonial cousins from across the Big Pond! 
As you already appreciate the humo(u)r, you'll fit right in and hopefully won't be too frightened...
Feel free to ask anything you want to know, you'll always find somebody to give you a sensible and useful reply (while the rest of us chip in with comments and jokes from the sidelines) - the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, and in the end we're all just a load of old (mostly!) blokes playing with toy trains...
As Phil says above, it's always nicer to call folks by a name rather than just a forum handle, but in the end it's up to you.
Enjoy your time on here... it can be addictive!
Jon.

Hi "First Gen",
Welcome to the forum! We both are of the same age sharing this fantastic train hobby!
I hope to see a lot of pictures of the projects you are doing.
Here some of my project of this week: the 3D printing of a large coal wagon
named "129 G Gauge 2 Bay Offset Hopper Car".
The 3D files (see pic 1) were shown in here a few days ago.
Pic 2 shows the side wall of half the wagon.
Pic 3-5 show stages of the printing process of the center part of the wagons after having removed the side walls.
You have to be in no hurry and stay calm while running these projects.
Let the printmachine do his work and enjoy each new creation!
