Robert Douglas received a Triang-
Hornby train set as a boy in
England, sparked a life-long inter-
est in trains. He quickly became
fascinated with American rail-
roading but life and family called,
resulting in a 30 year hiatus.
A mere three years ago, after try-
ing N scale he moved back to HO
and the Kayton Short Line is his
first operating layout. Robert is a
member of the North Shore Model
Railway Club in Auckland, New Zealand, and enjoys
meeting fellow modelers and operating on their layouts.
Prototypical operation has become his latest interest.
To pay for his train obsession, Robert is an IT manager
for a state high school. He and his wife, Kay, have two
adult daughters, the oldest of which is also a member of
the NSMRC. More recently they gained a son-in-law and
a grand-dog and are looking for a new home with a larger
railroad room!
