Hi there,

I am known as Roberto.
I work on the railways in the Black Country and that is how I got to now IPLOFFY.
He told me of his idea of building his garden railway over two years ago while showing me an 'O' gauge class 08 which I fell in love with and still want one.
I have been helping IPL now for the last teo years building his layout.
IPL does the brickwork and electrics and I do the carpentry.
At the moment to run on the railway I have 2 steam loco's - 1 - Patriot (BR Green) + 1 - Duchess (LMS Crimson Lake).
I also have a pair of 20's + 1 - 47 + 1 - 37 all in BR Green which is my favourite diesel livery.
Soon I will be posting some photo's of my loco's and rolling stock>

I believe Ian is having a paint robot fitted in the shed so that anything that goes through comes out the other side blue  :))

Well I have had my new camera now so have been able to photograoh my loco's.
Some people though seem to be under the mis-apprehension that green liveried loco's didn't run on the Stour Valley North line.
Don't like to tell them but they did.
Just remeber also, Green is the fourth colour in the rainbow with Blue trailing in fifth.
What better recommendation could you have also with some Green loco's on the Isle of Sodor.
When I work out how to post my photo's they will be here.
Roberto

This was my first loco in O gauge.
Th enthusiasts amongst you will notice it has a Bescot number on>
