Title: My introduction
Post by: Tommy B. on July 04, 2014, 08:28:40 AM

 Hello Guys,

 I am a retired toolmaker aged 74,I have a small lathe and milling machine.My normal hobby for the last 12 years or so has been building and flying radio control model aircraft,however changes in  the climate over the last few years have resulted in a lot more windy days and my visits to the flying field are becoming less  frequent.I am itching to get back into model engineering and have made a start building John (Bogstandard's) vertical twin cylinder steam engine.I am looking into the possibility of a modification to fit Stephenson's valve gear to it but we shall see.

 Best wishes,

               Tom.
