:wave:A popup says I have not posted for ages so here goes, after returing from Canada and after having had the grim task of dismatling Mathro's layout I have had no urge to indulge in model making except to lurk on The Gauge
I belong to a group of modelers who meet once a month to display their layouts,conduct wrkshops and and talk model railways
Yesterday we had an all day fun day ,lots of competitions. I entered a Diarama and came away with a prize. so here it is:thumb:

Good to hear from you Jimmy. Nice diarama! Congratulations!

PS. That pop up thing is a new feature that surprised most of us. Glad it prompted you to post though! :)
 
Good to see you back Jimmy. I went into that same funk following Robin's passing. Haven't done any building since. I do hang out here and seem to be ready to get on with the hobby.

now,this is going to sound very out of place or possibly offensive but.your talking of mathryo which i have looked at all his threads in the academy.his layout was AWESOME so what happened to it.the best way i could see to remember him would be to display it to show how much he accomplished.sorry for bringing this up its just bothered me for a while.sorry if i offended anyone,i will remove this if it is a problem.--josh
