New members saying hello

[Martin Wynne]

If you are new here - welcome. 

Why not post a reply here to say hello?

Even if you are not new here, if you have not posted anything here before, it's never too late!

Hello everyone.

I'm new here, just joined the Gauge 3 Society. Very impressed with the full-colour glossy newsletter and new-member package. The scale rule will be very useful too. Thanks.

Very much toe-dipping in G3 at present. I've got some rail from Cliff Barker and I'm 3D printing some chairs for it. A Slater's wagon kit is on order.

I'm also building a 1:25 scale radio-control model fishing boat kit, which is a freelance design so close enough scale to match. When not sailing on the canal it can live in a little G3 layout alongside a wharf.

cheers,

Martin.

Thanks Ashley.

I will certainly provide some details of my project -- when there are some.

At present I am still getting the wood for the baseboard.

As I said I am just dipping a toe in G3 to see where it might go. Previously modelling in 4mm and 7mm scales.

I have now received the Slaters G3 wagon kit, which is very impressive.

I've been measuring the wheels supplied, and I can see some flaws in the published Gauge 3 track standards. So I need to get that sorted before I start making some track. I will posted more about that later.

cheers,

Martin.
