Why railways and why railway modelling? Why you may ask! Well my interest in railways goes back now for far more years than I care to remember. My late father worked on the East Coast Main Line between Peterborough and Grantham and then later on, on the former Midland line between Peterborough and Leicester, predominately at Stamford. My grandfather also worked on the railways, and I believe my uncle also had a very brief sojourn somewhere connected with railways too. So you could say I was born into it, I also lived a matter of yards away from the East Coast Main Line at Tallington, just north of Peterborough, in the railway cottages for the best part of 20 years, so this probably helped a little bit too.
I have dabbled in model railways over the years, with OO gauge originally, starting with Triang Super 4 track and a mixture of Triang and Hornby Dublo stock. I eventually amassed quite a large amout of trackage. N gauge and some Graham Farish and Minitrix equipment, saw an attempt to get something 'larger' running in a smaller space. It never really quite materialised as imagine, and the N gauge was sold off. I then went back to OO gauge for a while, before O-gauge and Lima class 33's and mineral wagons beckoned. Nowadays I try to model in 16mm scale narrow gauge. I have been a member of the 16mm Narrow Gauge Association (Membership No. 5155) for about five years. Other interests include the Internet, my other websites, computers, digital photography, gardening, earning money and family commitments, music (60s and 70s mainly), and collecting bank notes from around the world (can display at exhibitions).
