Hello together,

?

I just want to introduce myself - not only as a new member to this group, but also a new member to the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association.

Born, raised, and living in Germany, I had my first trainset with age 5, nearly 50 years back.

Since then I have always been a more on than off model railroader with changing interests:

German Federal Railways, Austrian Narrow Gauge, US logging, US traction, European Feldbahn and forestry railways - most in photography and all in modeling from scales TT, HO, N to 1/4".

For a few years I owned a laser cutter, and tried my hands on the construction of some kits, but doing this collided with my then involvement working as a database administrator.

?

The last few years saw some changes from becoming a train engineer with the Deutsche Bahn, over grown children moving out of their parent's house, to lately a severe accident with my bicycle, which turned most of my life upside down.

So now with the expectation of more spare time I try to make a new intense start at model railroading in 7mm as well as N scales, combining my various interests, experience, and tools - both analogue and digital.

?

Regards,

Ralf

Welcome Ralf. I hope your recovery from the bicycle accident is progressing.
