Wanting to get into railway modelling, where to start?
Discussion
Some years ago my wife and I came across an exhibition taking place in a town hall somewhere, and as I recall it was made up of a number of individual displays that were linked together, and presumably these were owned by different people who came together to put on these shows. There were a couple of tracks and trains running through all the displays and each display had its own theme, with scenery and layouts to suit.
We are now in an ideal position to participate in such an activity, somewhere to do it, I have all the necessary woodworking equipment and, being English and male, naturally love model trains, mechanical and electric stuff. My wife is a talented amateur artist who shares my interest in railways. We have often visited Quainton (which is only a few miles from here) and Didcot.
We're ok for money too, and are not expecting this to be cheap (what is?).
So if anyone here is able to point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
