Mostly Harmless
Hello, I recently found this forum and have been reading through the various threads. Some fantastic modelling by so many of you. (need a "we're not worthy" icon)
A bit of introduction: I'm a Canadian now living in London UK. 5 years now. I've modelled British in 4mm scale for the past 30 years. Up to now that is. I've always had a bit of HO stuff but never really caught the bug for modelling a Canadian or American layout. Over the past few months that's changed and now I'm finding the lure of big trains very irresistable.
The plan at the moment is to create a series of modules to Fremo standards which I can link up with a couple other modellers. The opus will be (hopefully) a 24' section of BNSF depicting Essex Montana. Why? Probably because I spent every summer in Glacier Park from the time I was 16 until I moved to the UK.
To start with however, I'll probably create a small time saver or similar, just to cut my teeth on. The one thing I really want to avoid is the Americanized British layout that seems common over here.
Thanks for letting me waffle on.
The first pic is the inspiration. Taken from the foot bridge in Oct 2003. The other 2 images are from my now mothballed BR Southern Region layout.
