hi everybody
im kris,14 from chester-le-street
i didnt know where to make my first post so i thought this might be suitable
i started to get into the hobby that is model engineeringabout a year ago now and have almost finnished my first model
jim Duncan and Ken Swan of the Beamish model engineers said that i could become a member of there group if i did well in this project and proved that i realy liked the hobby and that it wasnt just a phase or something
so i started to build a small canon made from mild steel and brass
iv almost comlpeted it and have made a start on a small 0-4-0 henley loco.
im starting to build a workshop in my garage and have a hobbymat MD65 which i am very fond of.(iv only had it 3 weeks and im modifiying it!)

lol

well i hope that this forum will be very helpfull

thanx
