Saying Hello!

To begin with let me say that I am not now an Engineman; they don't allow septuagenarians to be enginemen, but I was an engineman for 13 years in my youth. There is a "model" of Leicester Central being built under our house. That's enough to begin with. Please forgive any mistakes, this is my first time for something like this forum.

..........But, here in the forum, we DO allow septuagenarians to tell us about being enginemen in the past.

We also look forward to hearing about your model railway.
Welcome Aussie Engineman.

Hello and welcome to the forum, that model of Leicester Central seems like a large project, what scale are you moddeling in? Here in Birmingham, UK, there is a model railway of Birmingham New Street, in '00' scale, in a back garden. He opens it up to the public on the 1st weekend in September every year.

Hi Aussie Engineman
Welcome to the Forum I will be a septuagenarian in just over a year, I too was a locoman many years ago, I was a fireman on BR. I found the group a bit confusing at first but it's ok after you get used to it.

Welcome.

Looking forward to some railway tales from Down Under. I sure it's not all thousands of miles of red desert, and kangaroos.

Welcome to the Forum.

Look forward to learning more about Australian Railway and Australia.

Spent a very enjoyable four weeks in Australia last August including visits to "The Valley Rattler," "The Zig, Zag Railway and Puffing Billy.)

Best wishes,

John.
