[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by folkestonekeith</i> <br /><br />Hi Guys, <br />I've just joined the forum, live in Folkestone UK (in the south east corner of the country close to the Channel Tunnel - using Eurostar closer to Europe than many parts of the UK!!). Spent about 30 years working in Asia and returned home to the UK about 5 years ago.[img][/img][img][/img] <br />Have been into garden railways for just under two years starting off with an LGB digital start set. This was soon expanded and construction of a line down one side of the garden started - plan this year is to chuck out the LGB power system and install the more powerful Massoth system as well as beautifying the track surroundings etc. Next year hope to start taking the track up the other side of the garden. <br />Main modelling interest is the Swiss RhaetiaBahn and the German NG lines around the Rugen, the Harz and Dresden (railroads which have been visited by train starting at my local station[8D]). Also appearing from time to time is some Union Pacific (F7AB and Alco Passenger and Freight locos) and Boston & Maine (GP9). My cousin lives just outside Boston so on my last visit dragged him to Charles Ro to get the very nice blue and white GP9!! Also have got the Bachmann Heisler (DCC chipped and Pheonix-sounded) and latest Shay (awaiting chipping and sounding!!). <br />Have subscribed to Garden Railways - great magazine but one problem - the adverts show how expensive garden railroading here is in the UK compared to what you pay in the US - just like the price of gas!! Am hoping to get many hints from joining this forum........ <br />Keith <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />A BIG Welcome from South Texas. I'm Capt J.E. Carrales and we 'd love to have you add your identity to ours...resistance is futile![:)] <br /> <br />Again welcome!
