Hi everyone,

Just found my way here via a link on another forum I'm a member of and it looked interesting so thought I would join. I suspect that I will find a few members here who I already know from the other forum.

Although I was born and educated in the UK I have spent most of my working life in the Middle and Far East and have not had much opportunity to indulge in railway modelling during that time. However, having recently retired, I have now returned to railway modelling after an absense of over 30 tears. My wife is Chinese and I have retired to live in her home town of Guilin, China where the climate is better suited to my old bones that that of the UK and the cost of living is much less.

I last had a layout in the early 1980s which was 00 gauge but I am now building an N Gauge layout based on GWR just after WWII and prior to nationalisation. I will probably give more details on a separate thread later.

I look forward to meeting you all 'On Forum' and to exchanging knowledge and ideas with you.
