Although I voted in this thread several months ago I never got round to giving any details of my interests. My very first permanent layout was in the 1950's on a 6' x 4' board in my bedroom. It was 00 Gauge and the stock was mainly Tri-ang with a small amount of Hornby Dublo. In the mid 60's I sold it all for £10 and used the proceeds to take one of those new fangled girl things to see the "Sound of Music"....Big mistake!!!
In the late 70's, after getting married, I restarted modelling. My available space was still about the same but by now N Gauge had become available so my layout could be four times as big.
Initially I modelled British Railways (LMR and WR) and built two layouts in the 70's and 80's using mainly Graham Farish and Peco stock.
In 1990 I was converted to European N Gauge and I am now in the process of building my second Swiss layout. My stock is mainly Fleischmann, Kato, Roco and Minitrix and I use Peco Code 55 track.
