Hello to all.
My name is Ray, I live near Warrington.
I have taken my first steps in steam with a couple of old Clarkson engines.
One is a vertical compound twin and the other being a Sanderson beam.
My main hobby is building large scale Submarines, so this really is all new,So I hope I dont bore you all with daft questions.

Welcome Ray

There's no such thing as a daft question (but sometimes daft answers)

We all had to start somewhere with paddlers so feel free to ask, someone will have the right answer.

Thanks Bob.
But Looking at all the bits,I am feeling out of my depth.
