Hi, to everyone.
I've recently added boat models to my main interest which is 16mm Narrow Gauge Loco's. At present I am constructing a garden railway 32mm gauge scale 1-19. (16mm to the foot) I have two electric scratch built engines, the usual Mamod, and a vertical boilered 0-4-0 inspired by a De- Winton.
On the boating side I am completing a working narrow boat that I started years ago and then stuffed under the bench, the hull is complete and the cabin is part completed at the moment I'm sorting out the motor and electrics. I also have a small fibreglass hull that I picked up on a market stall, this I want to build into an Edwardian Launch, I've started collecting the bits for this.
As radio control is new to me I'm taking all very slowly, especially in fitting RC into my Loco's.
I'm finding this forum and a certain other one, a mine of information which hopefully will reduce the learning curve.
So its back to the bench
Cheers
Stuartm
