Polite Newbie Introduction

Dear all,

I am new to participating in forums, but have been introduced to WesternThunder by several members of the S7 West Mersea group who will know me already.

I am a complete novice to modelling in ‘O guage’, and after struggling for months with a Black 5 kit which I purchased (despite advice from everybody not to), due to my overly high ambition, coupled with inadequate skill level, and lack of general understanding (tool requirements etc), I am now modelling a J67 tank engine from Connoisseur models.

After one month of purchasing the kit, the J67 is already running and almost there and I can’t wait to don my ‘engine driver’s hat’ kindly bought for me by my director from the Somerset Railway at our next club meeting, which I am sure which will be to the amusement of other club members!

Cream cakes will also be provided to club members for celebration purposes of getting my first engine running – so they hopefully should be kind?….

Hi Danny and welcome. the first completed build is always a big step, I remember the first time I first had an M&L 517 grinding along a bit of track :eek: buoyed with confidence I went P4, tried a perseverance chassis, and after throwing at the wall in frustration went O Gauge:)) haven't touched 4mm since - MRJ and Iain Rice have something to answer for :cool:

At this rate I think we'll need to be moving home soon to somewhere bigger!

Welcome aboard the good ship 'Fruitcake' as you need to be a bit stark raving mad to begin with :D And that's just the Guv'nor :p

Regards,

Mark

Just how many chairs do you have back there? I recollect someone saying that there is a queue to get in, promoting a new member to the elite has no precedent. Oh, you just set one - humm, you will need a longer queue.


Welcome Danny.
