Morning folks!
Just wanted to say hi, having just joined the forum and had a look at recent activity.
We arrived in the Haute Vienne, near Cussac, last week, for a permanent vacation, and my wife found your details on etcetera.
I have Swiss outline in N, Om and LGB. My main collection is LNER/ BR ( with the odd interloper ) OO.
Needless to say all boxed, not seen the light of day for way to long, and will be for some months yet while doing the basics to the house and deciding who has which rooms for hobbies etc.
So hopefully I will get chance to meet some like minded modelers around the Vienne / Dorgdone / Charante border areas.
Went to a Model Rail show last weekend in Bussiere Galant, seems to be an annual thing, several high quality Ho and N layouts in operation.
Well cheers for now, and I hope you all have a happy Xmas.
Richard.

Hi Richard Welcome to darkest France, didn't know about the show at Bussiere Galant or I would have gone, the last show I saw advertised was at Limoges and there were quite a few layouts on show. I live near Piegut-Pluviers so not that far from you. My interest is in Epoch II DRG and anything in steam. Glad to have you on board. Dieter

Cheers Dieter, good to know you are not far away and I'm sure we can hook up sometime in the near future.
We had stopped in the car park by the Post Office in Cussac and my wife spotted the poster about the Bussiere Galant show on the notice board there, so I guess it helps looking at said when passing any.
I would have gone to the Limoges show but am looking after the good lady who had a fall within the week of us arriving and is on crutches for 3 weeks.
Don't know anything about your interest era so will be good to find out.
All the best for Xmas and a Happy new year.
