To introduce myself, brought up in falmouth cornwall and served my time at the docks, working on the dock shunters was a very enjoyable part of my apprenticeship.I then spent 21 years at sea as a ships engineer then moved out to NZ and worked in the power generation industry untill retirement.
The sight and smell of steam has never left me and I have been involved in preserved railways while out here. At present over seeing the rebuilding of an 0-4-0 Hudwell Clark locomotive at Oamaru Steam and Rail.
