Title: New baby on it's way
Post by: davidjhope on February 20, 2012, 06:31:43 PM
Hi all,
I have been made to feel very welcome on this site since joining. Because of this I would like to share my good news that baby number eight (That's correct eight) is due in August. I am using my spare time (Ha Ha) to distract myself building my new layout. Its only 4' x 18" and based on a modern image servicing yard. I must admit after a long spell not modelling its been great coming back into it. I must also say that I'm finding N gauge a new challenge after so many years in 4mm.
I love this site.
Thanks to everybody
David

Well done mate,
Every time my wife went to hospital to have our baby a new fire engine(Dennis of course) would magically appear in the garage. After number three i was told I was not allowed to have any more.
Before you all start i think she was meaning the kids so to test that thought i went and "found' another.
Sadly she meant the fire engines. So if anyone wants to buy one(fire engine not the kids, well maybe the eldest as he is not into trains), let me know

Thank you all for your kind words.
I'm now trying to save all my energy to enjoy myself at TINGS.
Please give me a nudge if I'm asleep in the corner.

Thanks again
