Welcome Nigel, similar story here!

Lots of help and advice here to get those once rusty skill going again but if your busy on the ESR you'll probably help us!

Cheers, Henry.

Hello Nigel, I'm just up the road, before Christmas I popped to the ESR with a view to helping out with their narrow gauge railway (I currently run my 3.5" and 5" locomotives at the West Wilts Model Engineering Society but figured I might be able to help on the 7.25" line there).

Maybe I'll see you around there at some point. In the meantime, welcome.

Jon
