I've seen references to the WT site on various other forums and thought I'd give it a go myself. Have to say I'm impressed by the informal yet informative nature of what I've read so far and not found any contentious or "political" stuff at all, as can be the case elsewhere (not that I'm looking for it, other than to avoid it, if that makes sense).
My railway interests are wide and various but the main focus comes down to two areas, the Midland Railway c.1910 and 1970s Western Region. I have had an O gauge branch line layout of the former underway in the garage for a couple of years and for the latter have just embarked on a 00 layout based on Penzance in the mid-70s, using pre-owned RTR stock and peco set-track. The latter is due to having been on family holidays in Cornwal in my early teens and become almost infatuated with Westerns combined with a wish to relive the simpicity of those early modelling (playing trains?) days.
Keep up the good work everyone. I need the inspiration.....
