Dear all,

I am new to participating in forums, but have been introduced to WesternThunder by several members of the S7 West Mersea group who will know me already.

I am a complete novice to modelling in ‘O guage’, and after struggling for months with a Black 5 kit which I purchased (despite advice from everybody not to), due to my overly high ambition, coupled with inadequate skill level, and lack of general understanding (tool requirements etc), I am now modelling a J67 tank engine from Connoisseur models.

After one month of purchasing the kit, the J67 is already running and almost there and I can’t wait to don my ‘engine driver’s hat’ kindly bought for me by my director from the Somerset Railway at our next club meeting, which I am sure which will be to the amusement of other club members!

Cream cakes will also be provided to club members for celebration purposes of getting my first engine running – so they hopefully should be kind?….

Great to see you on hear Danny, I trust we'll get to see more pictures. If not here I hopefully hear about goings on at WMHQ in the newsletters when I get round to paying my membership :headbang:

Hi Danny and welcome. the first completed build is always a big step, I remember the first time I first had an M&L 517 grinding along a bit of track :eek: buoyed with confidence I went P4, tried a perseverance chassis, and after throwing at the wall in frustration went O Gauge:)) haven't touched 4mm since - MRJ and Iain Rice have something to answer for :cool:

At this rate I think we'll need to be moving home soon to somewhere bigger!

Welcome aboard the good ship 'Fruitcake' as you need to be a bit stark raving mad to begin with :D And that's just the Guv'nor :p

Just how many chairs do you have back there? I recollect someone saying that there is a queue to get in, promoting a new member to the elite has no precedent. Oh, you just set one - humm, you will need a longer queue.


Welcome Danny.

Not enough.... :rolleyes:

That's why some of us have to stand.:shit: If we're good we're allowed to turn around occasionally so that we don't have to face the Back Wall all the time.....
oh and don't even mention the Naughty Corner.... :confused:
