Hello Squeaky88 welcome to the Forum. No need to be nervous.

Thank You All
 

For the tremendous welcome - appreciated.

For DSY011 - a fair question. I am originally from New Zealand, and was immersed in the railway scene there in earlier years, but as a youngster I grew up with firstly Hornby clockwork trains, and later had a Triang electric model set, all based on UK railways of course. Since the mid-70s, I have done several trips to the UK (and lived there for two years in the early 80s), so my interest has become very much oriented towards the scene in the UK, both steam and heritage diesel locomotives. I subscribe to Railways Illustrated which keeps me abreast of things there, and this forum is a very welcome discovery for me too.

Best regards
