Hi there my name is David, 63 yrs old, Married, Aussie and model railway Crazy.
I am in the early stages of building an N Gauge model railway layout, my fifth layout, previous outfits were Aussie HO, British OO, American N x 2 and now my Freelance layout, all rolling stock is Japanese proptotype, a mixture of Steam, Diesel and Tramcars, scenery will be Aussie style but not strictly, I will build whatever I think fits in and takes my fancy.
I chose Japanese locos for my layout because of the superb running quality, brands include Kato, MicroAce, Tomix and Modemo, I guess another thing that appealed to me was the fact that the Japanese Railways ran steam right up to the mid 70s, not that important on a freelance outfit but something to talk about.
I am not an expert model builder but love trains, my second hobby is photographing railways, havent done much of late but going on a five week Train Photo Expedition next month, try and build my stock library up.
