Hi All, just thought I take a few moments to introduce myself. I've been lurking on The Gauge for quite some time now. My name is Willis I usually sign my posts that way. I'm an old gaffer, been retired since 1992 but didn't start on the dream layout until around 98. Didn't take too long before the dream became a nightmare
. As each problem was encountered it was compensated for resulting in many changes. What I wanted to do in the space I alloted for it was barely possible. I suppose the proper way to avoid all the hassle would have been to use one of the CAD programs, but I decided to put that time to working on the bench and track work. The basic track is all in place and now scenery is presenting it's limitations. Perseverance will triumph in the end ( I hope
)
I decided to freelance model a local short line the CB&CNS Rwy. This had it's problems in that all the loco's have to be bashed from various sources. The kitbashing ideas for the MLW C630M's came from another modeler The MLW RS18 happened when I had no choice but to succeed or throw a new Athearn in the garbage. Four more 630's and two RS18's are to be built in the future.
I have a freeweb site where a lot of my work in progress can be viewed.

Anyway that's a little about me, if you have any questions for me just ask
Cheers and a
from Nova Scotia
