Hi from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

I am building LGB half indoors and half outdoors. The outdoor section is in a transparent roofed patio and it goes through a window into the indoor section that occupies 3 rooms in a semi-basement under the house.

Greetings,

Your post makes it official, we have a representative from all the major continents save South America and mainland Asia.

Hi,
I'm from the NW coast of England, Blackpool, a very busy tourist town with a tower that makes it a unique coastal resort. Luckily we also have a very good model shop that sells G, 1, 0, On30 & OO. I have a USA NW-2 and a Bachmann consolidation with a variety of Bachmann, LGB coaches/freight. We only moved here last October so my back garden, which is 60' x 20', will be going into construction mode any time now.
Cheers,
Kim

Hi all
For the Aussies on the list it has to be the "Dockers"
I hail from the only place worth anything the Golden Mile the richest square mile of dirt there is in West Australia
I started with "OO" scale then went too "N" Back to "OO" then LGB ect and have now moved to a real scale 16mm which means I can have Live Steam the draw back I now have to learn how too scratch build.
but will not be restricted by what the manufacturers choose to make.
regards John

When you say "football" do you mean that bizarre game where a group of people kick around a "black and white" ball, or that "Aussie Rules" game that I am both impressed and humbled by or that Football we play in America with the body armor and oblong shaped ball? [:D] Just kidding...

How is passenger train travel Dunnunder?

Yup, Aussie Rules, played with an oval ball but similar to Irish Gaelic football. Commonly referred to as aerial ping-pong.
It takes leather balls to play Ozzie Rules!
Ian, I follow neither Crows nor the Power, prefer the local SANFL competition, but mostly football season exists to keep the TV crews busy until cricket starts again

We're from the twin cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul here in the "Semi Great White North" of Minnesota; land of ten thousand frozen lakes.
I run mostly Bachmann stuff with one pink and purple LGB 0-4-0 on the head end of our 24 yr. old daughter's TOON TOWN TRAIN. The TOON TRAIN looks like a fan trip with three gons filled with her Disney figure collection. Sarah has been collecting these figures for many years and has far more than will fit on her train.

My profile says Columbus, Ohio but actually West Jefferson , which is 10 miles or so west of Columbus. The Northfolk & Southern has ran me late to work a few times due to crossing the only road in or out of town off the freeway.

yes oops forgot to mention I'm in the UK, where it rains alot!. It's ok today tho but here april usually brings the showers!. I run what I can afford, and generally thats more LGB based, cos well Bachmann is expensive. I usually buy Bachmann off ebay and send it over it's still cheaper than here, ie I bought a Bachmann climax in the UK, paid £460 brand new. Thats about$814US Well prefer the Bachmann coaches to LGB, they look better!. Part from that I use Peco track, code 250 nickel silver rail. Tho everything is when I can afford it! LOL

Well I used to come from the planets smallest continent and its largest island; Australia but I have since learned that this is not correct. Australia is not a continent, it used to be but now it isn't it is part of the continent of Oceana. But I still live in Australia and love it wether its a continent or not.

It is the start of the football season here and i'm sure both Toe Nail ridge and Kawana Island follow the AFL (Australian Football League) own up to it Phil; who do you support the Crows or the Port? Living in Queensland and coming from Sydney I support the Swans with the Lions my second choice.


Regards Ian; Kawana Island Tropical Railway.

Adelaide, capital of the state of South Australia, known as the Festival State. We have some of the best wine country in the world, in fact this state has a bigger area of vineyards than France, Spain & California put together.
The state rail system is unusual, running to the broad gauge of 5'3". There is still one yard in the north of the state where 3 track gauges converge, 5'3", 4'8.5" and ng 3'6"
We're also unusual in that our local time zone differs by only half an hour from the next one East

We live in Connecticut, USA, The Nutmeg State, home of the UCONN Huskies - NCAA national champs (men and women), need I say more?

My interest is in 3 foot gauge steam. I use Bachmann exclusively. Good stuff at a fair price. I kitbash and scratch build as well. Locos are battery powered with radio control.

We'll probably be moving to Florida within a year so I'm between layouts now. My next RR will be point to point with provisions for continuous running.

As for my likes, I like a Large Scale railroad that can be flexible, in scale and fun to use. I lean toward Bachmann due to the heavy use of their equipment when I was in N Scale, but am open to other companies and products.
