Well, hello to all and thanks for your greetings! Great to alight at this station and meet the crew!
Seth, thanks for clearing up your a.k.a. I did wonder which Ian you were, then find you were none of them! Lol Thanks for the invite matey.
Cheers for now John

Hi John, welcome.

Two things - one, the name of your town - Gouburn? Very similar to the name of my town, Golborne. In fact when you say "Golborne" with a local accent, that's what you get, "Gouburn". It just struck me as funny that's all....

The other thing - my cousin, who was over here a few weeks ago, is also a freight train driver in South Australia, Perth, so nowhere near you. He drives narrow gauge stock like the pic attached, although he wasn't driving this, luckily. :)

Welcome to the forum anyway!

Hi There John from another Aussie newby, lots to see here

David.

Hi John and welcome to the forum. Sorry I'm a bit late but I have been away for a bit of a break and am only just catching up.
