In fact I do both! <br /> <br />I have always modelled UK Railways from a youngster, but after a railfan trip to Cuba six years ago - I was hooked on old Baldwin and Alco steamers! Over the last few years, the roads have come into use and the steamers either scrapped for left to rot, so I decided another way of preserving the memories (apart from the thousands of photographs!) would be to build a few models of the loco's that I have had the pleasure of driving! I've been there six times and driven a load of different loco's from a Standard gauge Alco Brooks 2-8-2 to a 2'6 Baldwin 2-6-0. These engines somehow manage to rattle along (the engineering is at times boardering on dangerous!), but it was just a great place to experince what short line operation must have been like in the States many years ago. <br /> <br />I also model US as well - Southern Pacific. Then I have also got a few of the Bachmann Chinese QJ locomotives (been to China as well to photogragh the steamers - never driven over there, but I have fired on of the JS 2-8-2's!). <br /> <br />The only problem with having all these different countries of models is that you need to have four or five different layouts - guess how many I have - NONE! Something gets built, bought or kit bashed, then it goes stright into a box in the cupboard - the cardinal sin of a modeller!!! <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Stephen. <br />
