Quick intro

General Discussion
#1

Hi All,

I’ve just started a post on some turnouts I’m building, thought a quick intro might be in order.

My name is Neil, and I live in New Zealand. I’m an engineer, working in high voltage substations. Unfortunately over-thinking and over the top construction is my stock in trade, and occasionally sometimes often carries over into hobbies… Ah well.

Got started in GR in 2007 at our old place and had a few hundred feet of track down before we moved in 2012. I was posting on the other site till the Foto Fiasco trashed most of my build threads, so I’ve been lurking here for the last couple of years to get my fix.

I recognise a few of the names around here, including some who welcomed me to MLS back in 2007. Sorry you couldn’t shake me off that easily…

Hope to post a bit as I get into the next layout. Land has been approved, but a hiccup in timing of a deck means I’m gonna start a temporary yard this summer in a sacrificial garden, all going well.

Cheers
Neil

A late welcome aboard. But the coffee is on and the beer is cold. Jokes are on you and most are friendly. Pull up a seat but don’t take it home.(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Welcome Neil.

Welcome, great to have you on board.

#5

Welcome!

Those are some really good looking turnouts that you are building.

Duplicate post. I guess that’s the site’s way of giving you a double welcome (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

Just as a reminder, New Zealand is +16 hours from EDT. The sun won’t come up there for a bit…so, unless Neil is like Ken, he won’t get on for sometime yet.

The jump from MLS to here is worthwhile, yes.

Neil;

Good to see your posts again. I am still here and “over there.” These days I seem to be posting more on this site.

Best wishes, David Meashey

I always figured I was 5 hours late but a day ahead. (https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)Not usually a whole lot of posters around when I get to check in.
