Saying hello, and asking for help :-)

[Stickboy]

Greetings fellow modellers!

First off, a confession :-(
I am not, as yet, an N scale modeller. I have experience in related disciplines, namely OO9 and HOn30, and I strongly suspect I will at some point dabble in Nn3.

My current interests lie firmly in North American Z scale, and my main reason for signing in here is in pursuit of track laying materials. I currently use commercial flex and set track, and want to see what improvements in appearance and performance can be achieved by hand laying.

I contacted the relevant authorities at the 2mm Association with regard to acquiring some of their products, and was informed that whilst sales to non members would cause all sorts of bookkeeping problems, if I could locate a friendly member willing to purchase said items on my behalf, the matter would almost certainly not be raised at Prime Ministers' question time :-)

So, here I am, asking if any 2mm Association member, preferably local to me (Tameside, South Manchester), would be happy to order some rail and PCB sleepers for me, thereby saving me the £20 annual membership? I'm happy to provide cash up front :-)

Many thanks for any help offered, I will put up some photos of my work if anyone is interested?

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks for the welcome John!

G'day, Phil! Welcome to the forum! I for one would like a sticky beak at what you are up to, even if it's not N!

There is a tutorial on posting images, but if you are having trouble, let us know. 

[Stickboy]

Ok, if I've got this right, this should be some photos of the current Z micro I'm working on :-)











I'm currently posting from my phone, so apologies if it isn't correct, I might do better when I get back to the laptop 

[Bealman]

Yep, it's fine here on my phone. That is awesome scenery! In fact it's hard to believe it is Z scale!

Triple  mate!

You have success Phil, congratulations for working it out on your phone 

Great looking scenery, very realistic and I hope you will keep us up to date with more as you progress.  We do have a section for other scales so if you post them there then you will make them available to everyone.

cheers John.

I should be careful with photos like the second one down...

You might find some smarty-boots moderator saying you can't post photos of the real thing and pass it off as a model !

Brilliant stuff. Send us more. What make are the trees?

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks guys!!!

All the rockwork, trees and vegetation is made from scratch, the fences are etched metal, one bridge is a cut down Peco N item, and the other is a cut down N gondola.
