John - Hastings Units

[John "Hastings unit"]

Hi all, have just signed up, am hopeless with computers, have been a member of the g-scale society for a number of years, my own interest in this scale started over 20 years ago, my main hobby is classic car restoration. my interest in railways came from my dad who builds things in 00 scale, i have a collection of g scale locos and stock, but around 18 years ago i started building my own from mild steel, as i had these materials to hand working with old cars. I look forward to reading about others escapades/success and ideas on here. John.

Instantly recognisable, John - like 'em

I model US 15mm:1ft Colorado(ish) narrow gauge, but you'll find a wide variety on this forum

Don't worry about the IT skills - we're all (well most of us) novices

Ah! That is why I saw two threads a moment ago!

Welcome John!
I hope you have a sense of humour? - And possibly a thick skin??
Leg-pulling is (almost) mandatory here!
