newbie from australia
« on: June 08, 2012, 03:05:04 AM »
I just thought about breaking the ice as a new member. I love making model steam engines and model generators. I started a f&t apprenticeship 40 years ago and that is when I built my first model steam engine. I'm not up to speed with computers so I hope this post gets to the right place. This is a link to one of my model generators
It is always great to see someone elses work so I put this link in to break the ice

Thankyou for the replies. I am busy with work at the moment so when I get time I will post some of my videos of my model steam engines. Does anyone in this forum make castings for their models? It is always interesting to see other peoples work because I can learn so much from them.
