I'm a model engineer from Perth, Western Australia who also has a passing interest in model boats, although my last RC one was built in the UK more than 25 years ago!  These days I mainly build static engines and I am part way through a 3 1/2" gauge locomotive

Welcome Pete I'm sure Steam engines of any type will be loved by our steam enthusiasts.
