Sorry ORB, but once you're gone you're gone.
Subject to the mods' careful consideration, you may be allowed to reapply, then you'll have to re-introduce yourself, just like any other newbie, and be subject to the usual riducule by the membership.

Oh no please not that, I saw what happened to 4x2 

HA HA ! Your turn to be mocked !   

Maybe we should have a Goodbye and Good Luck board for leavers.

Welcome back ORB    Hope you find something to renew your fascination.

Well ORB - that was a very brief break
It just goes to show the only constant you can really rely on is...........................................

P.S. Can we ridicule you up until February please?

You can do as you please Mike, I asked for it but I have to tell you one thing 4x2 and myself are pretty thick skinned old buggers so it water off a ducks back.

Peed off about the situation with world band radio though.

Hi ORB, Nice to see you back (brief though it was !). Are you starting with a 'clean slate' or are you going to pick up where you left off ? Just curious, as you had some good plans. 

Good to see you back old mate Hope to see some of your layout in February

I watched an American DVD where the layout just 18 inches wide ran around the walls of the room, I liked the idea as to how easy it was to reach everything, because my layout was still in the early stage of construction I decided to fire up the jigsaw and make a few alterations, it is now 15 inches wide triple circuit bi level and runs around the walls of my 10ft x 5 ft shed, I like the idea of trains passing through mountain scenery with small villages and industries in between.

That sounds great. ORB.
Don't forget a lift out/up flap or you'll be banging your bonce again
Some pics would be nice when you have them

My layout is 50cm wide and 80 in some areas with most of it in shelving (there is stuff above and cupboards etc below).  50cm seems to be 19.5 inches in oldie speak and I find it a good width. The 80 is a bit more of a reach but the sections that use it have a front scenic section with a raised fiddle or feeder track behind, so its acceptable. 50 is a spot narrow for a grand station entrance or a big yard but for everything else seems to work nicely.

ORB - I don't think many would have missed you...

Hang on... That didn't come out right!

I don't think any one would have noticed you were gone...

Nope... Still not right!


Can any one help me out here?! I think I'm just digging myself deeper!




Welcome back. Even though you only got to the end of the path before you were lured back in!

Seems to be a bit of confusion here chaps, if you go back to my original post you will find that I was going to put the trains away for a while but was going to stay on as an active member of the forum, I am still interested in trains but just got a little bored with the layout, no way would I have let my membership of this fine forum go regardless of being an active modeller or not.

Dave-if they had read the original post   
I saw you were staying on the forum just not actively modelling.

No confusion here, I did read the original post....

I meant missed from the hobby. Which is how I took the other posts to mean also.
