Hello

[Rush and Lusk]

I just want to say hello ! as I just joined this forum yesterday. 

I'm a "covid rediscoverer" of this wonderful hobby - just started in March and am really enjoying the steep learning curve of learning and exploration. like many folks, I dabbled as a youngster (decades ago), then took the "big train" to work in the city from my home station, Rush & Lusk ! 

I have already learned so much from the extensive knowledge and breathtaking layouts on this forum. Arising from one of the threads on the forum, I attended the wonderful exhibition event in Wexford on Sunday where I was met with courtesy, tolerance and encouragement for this beginner. Amongst the great folks I met were "Tara Junction", "Enniscorthyman" and Fran from Irish Railway Models (I subsequently bought an A3r to compliment my new 054 & A39r) - thank you all.

Regards.

Welcome R&L. It's great so many of us have rediscovered the hobby. Every cloud and all that. I'm a recent returnee after decades away too!

The "old hands" here have been great.
