Hello from Oz
 
Hello there, my name is Dave I am an Englishman living in Australia, I grew up in England and spent a lot of time Train Spotting steam trains through the 1950s, I have just retired and have decided to build a OO Gauge British railway layout, may be cheaper to do that than driving around in the car with the price of petrol.

I dont know how much I can contribute to the forum but as the forum is International I may be able to help with Aussie railways, I have been out of touch with my first love British Trains and hope to do a lot of picture viewing and read lots of threads so I can refresh my knowledge of BR, looking forward to learning.

Dave.
