Model Forum / General / Railroads / September 2006Hi Everyone
Hi Everyone, I thought I'd better introduce myself. After a long time of dreaming about a model railway, last Saturday I took the first step- I went to Branchline in Croydon, looking to but a train set.The only thing they had that interested me was the Flying Scotsman set, at $345. I was told by one of the guys at work that if you buy a set, you mainly pay for the loco, everything else is cheaper so they make a profit. After looking around, I ended up getting a Hornby 0-6-0 Pannier tank loco, class J83, 68480 weathered edition,one wagon, a Spectrum Magnum controller and a Peco setrack starter pack. I set it up, temporarily, in the garage on Saturday night, and I've been out there every night since. This hobby is addictive! I'm already thinking about expanding, and adding more loco's and rolling stock- it's just a matter of time and money! I think I'm hooked! Regards, Laurie. -- Larry in Melbourne Australia http://community.webshots.com/user/XJSROK www.mjoc.org.au where in Melb are you? you think your hooked now, come down to a club and see how fast you get hooked! > Hi Everyone, > I thought I'd better introduce myself.

Yup, like all my bloody hobbies;-) I am also in Melbourne, I work around the corner from Train World in Brighton. It's like fighting an addiction sometimes.
