Hi All
My name is Terence van Schalkwyk and I am from Cape Town South Africa. I have always been fascinated with Model Trains and it is time for me to start the hobby!
Back in my day when I was still young round about 13 I helped build I steam engine railway around a dam in my local town. (Don’t have a clue what gauge it was, pretty big though) I can post some photos if you like... That’s where the interest started!
I want to build a HO set-up. And that’s about what I know!
Is there a website I can go to which will explain some basics to me?
Someone can sell me something and tell me it is something else and I will believe them, as I am clueless!
I have been reading this forum for the last two days non-stop and have become so inspired! So can you please help me?

Welcome to the Gauge Terencevs. When I joined this site I knew nothing about how to set up my layout. I asked questionsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! and got my ideas from the posts here on the gauge. All I had was a bare sheet of 3/4 plywood to start with. Here are a few pics of my layout so far so if you need answers just ask the gauge members and they will help you through it. Left click pic to expand it.
