I have not built a layout of my own for over twenty years as most of my Hobby time was taken up building locos for other people, and also running a small casting company doing detail parts for locos in 1:43 scale. If you haven't already worked it out I am in the UK, and with retirement from working on the full size railway I decided to do something completely different. My workshop is not that big so doing standard gauge was out of the question, but narrow gauge in O scale would work, so ON30 it is(with a bit of O-16.5 thrown in).
