Hi everyone
my name is Jochen Stolle I'm from germany.
At first sorry about my bad English i can speak but not write very well. i hope everybody can find a sense inside.
I'm interested in building steam machines for maritime use.
I have never build a steam machine before and hope to find help in the forum.

Welcome to Paddleducks Jochen, I hope you enjoy your stay....

Your English is a LOT better than my German!!

Regards
Eddy

Hello Jochen,

a very warm welcome from Switzerland to you, if you want to ask something in German i am from Germany but i live here and work as well, you can contact me by PM.

Hope you like it to be here, regards Hans

Goodness PD's.....I am glad that is sorted ....like they are only 50 km    up the hill & round the corner from each other ......in OZ we may sometimes have to drive 50 km to get a bacon & egg roll for breakfast...   ....welcome Jochen..........Derek

Therefore Jochen you can understand why there is no reason to go to Australia! Welcome to the forum, I am sure your English will be more than adequate and that you will receive not only lots of useful information about steam engines and boats but also an education about the silly sense of humour of some people in other parts of the world. Cheers, Ian (in New Zealand).
