Hi Y'all.I'm female and fast approaching 60. I have a wide interest in a number of things and collect toy robots, ray guns, old toy wood electric boats from the 50's, and of course, steam engines. I've been collecting steam engines for over 11 years, on and off.
I'm a bit of a nerd and also a Star Trek fan. Currently, my favorite tv shows are the History Channels 'Monster Quest' 'UNIVERSE' and other history shows, including Pawn Stars and Modern Marvels.
I'm currently making a small 'AFRICAN QUEEN' from one of those cheap 18 inch display boats I bought for a dollar at a yard sale, and using an old MIDWEST steam engine and boiler I bought off of Ebay for 30.00 dollars. I'm trying to keep the cost below 60.00 USD.

Welcome to the forum Linda! Sound like your interests will fit in very well here... and there's nothing wrong with Trekkies!
I'd be very interested to see some pictures of your collection(s).... all of them. The ray guns and boats sound interesting..... 
(And well done on having some ex-Rog items... you can't go far wrong there!)

Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome. Yeah newsteamer, we're within hollering distance from each other.
I hope to get some pictures posted of my collection. However, what ever I post will be quickly outdated as I continue to add to my collection. Especially some choice pickings from 'The Temple of Steam'. I'm taking to calling my collection 'The Altar of Steam'.
