Hi, I am Hannes van Zyl.
Originally from Pretoria, now residing in Langebaan, Western Cape. I have joined a few years ago but only now have some time to attend to model trains etc.

I collect Marklin HO scale trains with a limited pensioners budget, >:( so certainly not regarded as big collector.  The result is 50 % of my trains are secondhand items.

Beginning to think of a simple layout, but can not imagine tracks of my starter sets fastened to a layout/table.

So I am looking forward to acquiring info from members of his forum, and also give information as I progress.  Thanks
