- Orphan Valley Model Railway -

My older brother Mark is an extreme hobbyist - radio control planes, cars, G-scale trains, motor bikes, buggies, aquaponics, computers, yachts, to name a few. I grew up in a family of 4 boys - we had a good healthy interest in hobbies. Both indoors and outdoors. Both shared interests or varied. Our parents encouraged our interests, and also set the example of really pushing the limits of creativity. So what hope did our wives have, but to allow us to continue our hobbies.

Welcome to the Orphan Valley Railway Blog. Well, really its the blog of Peter Rugendyke. More on the Orphan Valley Railway at a later date. I will use this space to just add in random blogs for now. You can visit my main website at http://members.e-wire.net.a u/~pjruges/. To help kick off, here is a picture of my younger brother Tim , playing his first match of Soccer for the up and coming Woy Woy Roosters.Unfortunately, he is out of the next few matches due to injury. And here is my older brother Stephen after his mountain Bike ride at Ourimbah. It rained that day. I'll introduce my Oldest brother in my next post.
