The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum

Pmackh · Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 10:07 pm Post subject: I Think i am a steamaholic !

Hi I am Pat from Dublin , My uncle got me interested in steam as a kid around 1975, I will never forget the smell, noise and hard work involved in 10 minutes of steam! He left me his collection of Wilesco, Mamods, unknowns, and tons of electric locomotives, carriages, tracks etc etc. I am cataloguing his collection at the moment (thats how I came upon you guys). I seem to favour "heavy" engines like the Stuart Turners Etc (oops am i allowed say that!)
I am hoping to show you guys some of my stuff over the next while, you might be able to identify some, swap some etc etc.
Some of your resorations are absolutly awesome, and i have a few potential projects i would like to share.

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Thanks,

Pat.
