Hello from Devon

Good morning,

I am a new member based in Devon and just popped in to say hello.

I am in the process of designing a scratch built electric 5 inch 0-4-0 shunter type loco and currently gathering all the info I can. Apart from a pillar drill I have no machining facilities so machined parts will have to be bought in. I do however have a good selection of engineering hand tools and plan to produce what ever parts I can.... chassis/body etc.

I have visited the Tiverton Model Engineers club track and the guys I met were very helpful., I will join the club shortly.

I am going to have lots of questions and hope you guys may be able to help.

Regards

Ron

Hi Ron Welcome to the forum although I live quite a fair way from you any help you need will be given by me and other members if we can help.

David

Thank you David, much appreciated.

There is also a club at Exeter though we don't have a track yet it is in planning and you are welcome to come along to a meeting. There are a number of occasional participants from Devon on the forum so don't be a stranger.

Thanks Bazyle, I will see if I can get over to Exeter, its not that far from me I live just outside Barnstaple.

Ron

Yes, welcome Ron.

Seems like you've joined the part-built workshop team like me.
