Newbie from England signing in

[Jon Grant 4472]

Hello all,

I've just found your Forum via a link, so I thought I'd sign up and meet some new folks, although I already recognise quite a few of you.

A bit about me.

I'm in my late 40s, have been modelling for over 25 years but have only been into the US railroading scene for the last 7 years or so and am still very much at the learning stage

I have three layouts at home - One British outline OO scale DC, set during the winter of 1917-18, One HO DCC/sound layout set in the 1930s, called 'Sweethome Chicago' and another HO DCC/sound layout, currently under construction, set during the 1990s, called Sweethome Alabama.

Here's a photo of each layout...








All three layouts were/are built to take to exhibitions around the UK and to date, I have attended over 100 shows over the last 20 years, although the latest layout won't be ready for another year or so.

My on-line photos can be found on the Railimages site

I also have a growing number of video clips on You Tube, although I am currently searching for a suitable video editing suite to improve the quality

Looking forward to chatting to you.
