Hi Everyone
 

Hello all, thanks for the great site. I explored it as a guest and I am impressed. This is my first ever forum post so please forgive any errors.
As most others my interest in railways began as a child now im a big kid, Im interested in all aspects of railways from heritage to modern and have no major preferances.

I have been a life member at Chasewater Railway since 2001, and working member since 2005 (loving every minute) and last september purchased with another member Hunslet wks No.6678 0-4-0dh 1968. I help (or as some may say hinder) with any project required ie Loco Dept,C&W,P-way,Santas anything that needs doing really. A big thank you to all the people that heve given me this opportunity.

Will pop in to forum from time to time,hopefully make a few posts and have enjoyed what ive read and seen so far.

Welcome to the Forum Bryan,

Nice to have another working volunteer, there are several on the Forum. I work at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, Derbyshire.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
