Although many Britisch like to deny it the UK is still part of Europe. The Romans, the Saxons, the Vikings and William the Conquerer knew it, went visiting there and stayed.

I'm from Perth, Western Australia.

Been modelling Burlington Northern in HO for over 20 years. Have a small layout with DCC, 20+ loco's. Also a member of a US modelling club that boasts about 20 members which has a large layout - 100% DCC.

I'm from Victoria, Australia. I've been modelling AT&SF (and the GC&SF) in N scale since the early '70s. I'm interested in the late '50s and early '60s.

For such a small country I think Holland has quite a lot of posters on this forum.

By the way, I'm modelling modern eastcoast and 1950/1960 Southern Pacific. Don't ask me how I will ever combine those two in a realistic way... Oh, and to complicate things even more I try to replicat the Washington state landscape [:)]

Next to this one, http://www.beneluxrail.net is my favorite forum, It origanally is a Dutch/Belgian forum, but we even have German, British and even a few Americans as registered members.

I'm another Kiwi*. I model the South Pacific Lines. No that's not a typo, but it sure helps when lettering rolling stock [;)] SPL connects with the Southern, and the Allied Transport and Shipping Industries (AT&SI) - more easy lettering [:D]

OK I´m one of those Europeans hiding in the background and I´m from Sweden. In my basement I´m building a small On30 shelf layout and later this year I will start building a tripple decked 28' * 12' NYC layout.

Which just goes to show we ( The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ) have more to offer than Europe! LOL
We may be part of Europe by way of the EU, but we are still independant of it -so far! look how we stick to our OO scale! [:)]
