Hi All,
I joined some time ago but didn't have time to post! Anyway I've loved trains for years. Had Triang stuff as a lad but got back into model railways when I had twin boys. Started then with N gauge, then Hornby OO (Thomas etc. for the boys), Lego and finally G Scale. Slowly built up a G Gauge layout in a 5x3.5 metre metal shed and then took the step of cutting holes in it to let the trains into the garden. Built the garden layout using home made track (brass strip, wooden sleepers and the rails soldered to screw in the sleepers). Eventually gave up on this and slowly bought lots of new and second hand LGB track. Track, locomotives etc. acquired from eBay, GRS *UK) and Maryland Models here in Perth. All DCC using Lenz command stations, DCC Concepts point decoders and ethernet with JMRI and TouchCab. Recently bought a couple of Massoth Navigators and the Xpressnet RC device. Will post pictures soon.
