Hello all,

If all goes to plan, I'll take over the Journal after the next issue (the last that Grahame Hedges will be editing).

To that end, may I ask for your help?

This forum is a tremendous source of wonderful ideas and inspiring modelling. It would be great to see some of that shared with the N Gauge Society.

If writing an article, or even sending along some photos with brief captions, sounds appealing, please let me know. Experience of writing is not needed -- I see part of my job very much as helping new writers, and will do my best to work with potential writers to help them polish their articles.

Remember, the Journal isn't just about beautiful layouts. Modelmaking is important, especially articles from beginners who have tackled some project successfully and want to share their tips and challenges. Articles about railways and railway operation can be good too if they inspire layouts or more realistic operation!

Grahame leaves big boots to fill, so I'm not even going to try. My aim is simply to be a background helper that makes it easier for Society members to share they thoughts with the whole membership.

Cheers, NeMo

Congratulations and thanks for volunteering NeMo!

Hear, hear, well done.

I have absolutely nothing that I can contribute sadly, but I wish you luck!

I guess you didn't step backwards when they asked for a volunteer to step forwards... Good luck...

Sadly It'll be a long time before I have my article ready.. It will be a long time before I finish the article being modelled..

Congratulations and good luck with it NeMo.

My congratulations, i'm sure you'll do a sterling job 

That is one huge job you've taken on there, NeMo. Having edited just a small newsletter, I have some inkling of what is involved.

In this light, you have my utmost admiration and respect for volunteering for the position.

All the very best with your new endeavour.

Congratulations and best of luck NeMo!

Congratulations and thank you NeMo.

I have a follow up article on motorising Oxford Borismasters part written, and planning to submit one on Magnorail when I have thought through how best to present it.

Thirded.

Looking forward to your efforts.

Well done for volunteering NeMo.  I'm sure that you'll do a great job, and like anything, I imagine it will seem daunting and very hard work to start with until a few issues are under your belt.

I hope members on here will be very helpful with articles and photo's.  I remember members saying that articles that they'd sent in the past hadn't appeared, so perhaps they could be sent to you in the future?

Good luck with your new role.

Absolutely. If someone wants to send me their articles again, they'd be more than welcome to do so. For now, PM me here, and I'll pass along the contact details.

Cheers, NeMo

Congrats on the role and thank you for volunteering. It will be nice to have a slightly more forum friendly editor. I have written a couple of pieces in the past for the NGS and other magazines but am not modelling currently. I could write up my layout plan and describe the planning process. I will have a think and contact you direct at some point.

All the best Neale, perhaps the start of something big for you (and I don't mean OO)
