I live in Broadford, Victoria, Australia,76 years old and widowed. I have been modeling for nearly 50 years,for a short time in N and then in HO. My current layout was begun in 2011 and is nearly completed, apart from a number of scenic elements. The layout depicts (freelanced) a branch of the Victorian Railways and is set in 1975, three years before abandonment, when there was still some steam. The traffic mostly consisted of very short goods (freight) trains, diesel rail motors taking care of passengers.
There were also infrequent steam excursions.

The layout is called Cathkin, after the only junction on the line. It shows the dry look of the Australian countryside during most of summer.
My other interests, apart from my four children, their families and one granddaughter are photography,video, painting and traveling.
I hope to have a few more years of modeling and enjoying life before me.
