About Me

My photo
James McInerney
Lifelong railway enthusiast and modeller. Originated the concept and organised the first decade of the 'Modelling the Railways of NSW' convention. Started building the current version of my HO scale NSWGR steam-era layout 'Lambing Flat' in 1983. Started my 1:24 scale Tasmanian West Coast inspired garden line 'Rurr Valley Railway' in 1999. Was the Production Manager/Editor of the Australian Model Railway Magazine from 2006 to 2020. Now retired and enjoying life not far from the spiritual home of Lambing Flat.
