Hi Lennard! 

Welcome to the collective

Love model steamers. Huge hobby of mine. You built any yet?

Col, I'm in central East Gippsland, Victoria. Just joined the Gippsland Model Eng. Society, so have a bit of company now. Where are you?

Eric, have been ME'ing for about 2 years now, and built several smallish stationary engines, mostly from plans that I have modified, and luckily they all work well so far. They are 10-12 mm bore, and I'm just gearing up to try 20mm. Having joined the above club, my wife is starting to hint that she'd like a loco to run there, so looks like my retirement hobby will be full on!

regards all,

lennard

Hi Lennard

I'm on the  Sunshine Coast.  Been here for about 6 years as the wife couldn't cope with the cold in Canberra.  Were you affected by the bushfires a couple of years ago?  Have a cousin in Traralgon who lost her house at Calignee.  Went down for work the week after and it was pretty horrendous seeing all the damage.  The company I work for lost part of the building that houses the TV/Radio transmitters at Mt Tassie.

I will do an intro post soon when I get some piccies of the workshop.  People on here like piccies.
