Hello from Western Canada

Hello
I have been working as a model builder both as a hobbyist and for many years as a professional builder in various ways. At one time employing up to 12 people building models and exhibitions.
I am now retired and like many around the globe right now staying home. So great to come upon another good forum about the subject that takes up a fair bit of my day. I work in a number of scales and have a small garden loop to run my models on. the track gauge is 45mm or 1 .75inches well 1.7716" to be precise, Accuracy is one of those rather nebulous parameters it seems when discussing model railway items, I would put myself into the "rubber gauge" club inasmuch that I enjoy a good model and its attributes whatever the scale gauge combination. I have a nice dedicated space/workshop that has accrued over the last 50 years some semblance of organized clutter and the relevant tools to muddle about with. one i figure out how to get the pictures to sit within the text I shall have more to show and say.

Thank you all for you kind welcome, I am in Edmonton Alberta Ian. Currently going through a bit of mulling my options, I do want to build a G1 s32 indoor layout for the long winter days almost 6 month of them in my neck of the woods. I would like to lay all my own track for that I have small room with about 12 feet along one wall and 8 feet along another. My interests for the indoor are more about building that operational. I also will be adding a G1 fine scale outdoor standard loop once I get all the different aspects of that endeavour sorted.
I am waiting for some books that I have ordered to arrive, covering live steam G1 locos. so now I will wander out to the shop to muddle with some ideas for a bit.

Hi Michael,

I've not made it out as far as Edmonton yet, but I fell in love with the National parks along the BC/Alberta border. I should have flown out again on Friday, but like all of us, I do not know when I may get the chance to travel again.

Stay safe.

Ian
