Sign me up.

I love the heady excitement of the first days of a new project.
Coming up with a witty title for the blog for example was fun. It just jumped into my head from nowhere. "Betws-y-Coed in my basement" just didn't have the same ring to it.
Having forgotten most that I ever knew about 009 modelling I thought it would be a good idea to seek out like minded modellers. There are quite a few on Rmweb but from there I was directed to Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling online.
An extremely friendly group. I've already received offers of research help wich may turn out to be quite useful being 4,000 miles away from Betws.
I also signed up for the 009 society. I always feel that its a good idea to be a member of a specialist society (if there is one) when you are modelling something other than the R-T-R scales. The 009 Society have their act together and you can join up online something very important to me on the other side of the Atlantic. Done in 5 minutes. With a monthly 009 specific magazine I'll be able to get a good regular fix of narrow gauge modelling inspiration.
I wonder what I can do next?
