Hi Guys:
A big "hello and thanks" to list member Gavin Sowry for hosting me last month
at his home near Wellington, New Zealand.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime holiday trip for my wife and me, and when I found
out Gavin lived in an area We'd be driving through, I got in touch. When I
arrived, Gavin and two of his friends had set up a number of small portable
layouts, mostly Gn15, in his garage. Being an S-scaler I was most interested
in Gavin's Sn3 1/2 "Fernside" module depicting New Zealand prototypes. Gavin's
friend Michael Gee also had a fine display of scratch built S scale passenger
cars and locomotives, also in NZ 42 inch gauge. All the work they had out on
display was top notch. Gavin also had his garden railway up and running, and to
top it all off, full-size Kiwi Rail freight trains were running past on the
track just over his back fence.
This isn't news, but there are some great modellers down that way, and great
people to boot.
Cheers
Jim
