Hello Rick welcome, I've been a member for about nine months and the thing that I like about the forum is everyone is so friendly and helpful. Theres a wealth of information here. By the way I retired this year, nice to have the extra leisure time after a lifetime of work isn't it.

Hi Rick and a warm welcome from me too. Like your description of the "early days" It was all fun from what I remember and being in competition with your mates to see who could complete a class of loco first! I had a few in my combine.
Nowadays for me its all about photo's and I do enjoy an outing at one of the many heritage sites.
Anyway all the best and look forward to your input.
Cheers
Phil

Hello Rick and welcome to the Railway Forum, Sorry I'm a bit late but I am down in Cornwall on holiday.

[Ken WSRfan]

I believe Cornwall is a different time zone so, in fact, you're right on time!
