Hello to everyone, I have just joined this Group and thought that I should introduce myself. I am Robin Edwards, I live near Gloucester in the UK and I have been modelling in 7mm scale narrow gauge since the mid 1970's. Most of this has been in On16.5 but I have dabbled a bit in 14mm gauge. I have had two On16.5 layouts - both exhibition layouts. My first was a continuous circuit, 13 feet by 6 feet and was called 'Dyffryn Station'. With a name like that it had to be set in Wales and it was extremely simple featuring just a passing loop and three storage loops at the back. This was retired in the early 1990's when I moved into a house in need of extensive renovation. Since then I have built a second exhibition layout - again in On16.5, but this time 'end to end', 20 inches by 15 feet called 'Ashcross Industrial Museum'.
However, my early dabbling into 14mm gauge has been haunting me and I would like to build a fairly small exhibition layout. Recent mailings on the 7mm NGA Group has reminded me of this Group so I thought I should join and get the benefit of the standards and experience of everyone else. I have to admit that I am a very slow worker so if I don't seem to contribute much it is because I am at the moment very much in 'receive' mode!
Looking forward to some inspiration and sound advice.
Regards,
Robin
