Making a Start

Well, here we go.

Inspired by a visit to Pecorama when we were on holiday a year ago, I started reading Railway Modeller.  An innocent enough habit, I thought, and one I could give up any time.  I was wrong, and my consumption spiralled: Model Rail, Hornby Magazine, Model Railway Journal.  Soon I was on the hard stuff, a subscription to the excellent Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railway Modelling.

I was fairly far down the route to becoming an armchair modeller, so something had to be done.  Fortunately I had everything I needed to become a proper modeller: vague memories of helping my father build a layout 30 years ago, a 5 year old son, and a blossoming mid-life crisis.

Chudleigh Road was born.
