Hello, greetings from the Hudson Valley, New York. My name is Simon and I have been following some posts on this forum for a couple of months and realized this forum provides a wealth of information and insight.
Back in October 2023, I dipped into H0m metric gauge, buying some Spanish brass models from Miniaturas Lacalle and those lovely French A80D's from Ree Models. I'm hooked. What I did not appreciate is the few "off the shelf" models. So like many on this forum, it's a case of using and improving modelling skills, which is always enjoyable and worthwhile.
I do not intend building any layout that models a particular prototype, rather a generic style that suits the Iberian peninsular or Corsica would suffice.
A recent set of 3 models I built, Feve 2JJ wagons. The loco, was a test build. I don't like it and have spent many hours refining the original design available free online. One of my first posts here will be that project.
This was an original Interfer "factory" built A150-D6 from 30 years ago that I stripped down, repaired, remotored, repainted and included a sound decoder. Still needs some decals and final hand painting the details.
Greetings From Across "The Pond"
