Hello from Shrewsbury, England

[Phil]

Hi, just a quick introduction. I've been setting up a workshop over the past year and been looking for a project. It didn't cross my mind to think of a steamer or steamer engine - although it should have earlier as I have always been interested in model boats. Anyway, this looks like an interesting site / forum group. So hope to keep talking.
Cheers for now, Phil.

Hi Phil,

Welcome to Paddleducks...

Although we're primarily a group interested in modelling paddlers, we do seem to be attracting a large following of people who are interested in steam engines - We'll do our best to convert you all into model boaters and put those engines to some real use!

Of course, we will always try to help wherever we can, but we don't claim to have answers to every question....

Regards
Eddy

Hi Phil,

What part of Shrewsbury? I used to live just down the road in Shawbury for a few years, and make it back there fairly often.

Model boats and steam go together like strawberries and cream. Most enjoyable.

Steam projects for model boats?  I could most probably keep you working in your workshop for a few years.
