Hi all,

I'm Neil and I joined up lately after purchasing a Cowells 90ME at auction in Northern Ireland.

In a previous life I did watch and jewellery repair but now I plat with R/C cars, N and Z scale trains and old French Clocks.

Welcome along Neil, the Cowells is a fine machine. I get to Northern Ireland a couple of times a year for the Motorcycle racing and visiting the wife's family.

Thanks for the welcome Chris, I live in the South but go up North quite a bit, I raced RC Cars in the North for many years. Have a few friends who are regulars at the North West 200.

I spotted the Cowells online , there was an auction selling a load of stuff from a guy who was into large guage scratch built model trains, there was only one other bidder and I just needed it more, got it very cheap in the end. There was a box of accessories a few lots later and I was the only bidder on those . practically stole them.

I have it stripped down and cleaned , hope to get a chance to reassemble it over the Christmas.

I'd be a fan of the French Clocks too Russell, I have a 4 glass crystal regulator I'm "working" on at the moment .

Hi Neil

Welcome to the forum. There doesn't seem to be that many members here in the south. Whereabouts are you? I'm in the Dundalk area.
