Hi Simon.
You've come to the right place.
Your symptoms are what we call the" toy steam bug", and we've all got it here.
You'll find this a friendly relaxed place where you'll find all the help you need. (Even if it's just a steam chat .)
So, a big Scottish welcome, and I hope to talk steam with you soon.
Sandman.

Welcome Simon from one of several Indiana, USA forum members. Funny how many of us in our fifties have re-discovered steam from youthful memories. You are in good company!

Absolutely true, Rog.
So here's another warm welcome from Richard, also in his fifties, and Andrew, who still has 41 years to go. 
Enjoy the SR1.
