Title: New Member fromSomerset West
Post by: rickbotha on October 15, 2015, 07:20:11 PM

Hi Guys :)

I'm new to the group.

I'm Rick, from Somerset West.

I only recently got involved in model railroading again, after a 15 year hiatus (considering I'm 26, thats more than half my life ago). I'm currently in the dreaming stage, playing with layout design using SCARM, and making space in my garage. HO scale is my preference.

I look forward to meeting everyone over time :)

Regards,

Rick

Welcome Rick,
have fun with the planning. :)
Post your design in the Layout design thread. Then we can discuss it and exchange ideas.  :thumb:
Regards Jörg.

Thanks BigEd. ColWer told me about it.

I'll try and make it, but we'll see what transpires.
