My website, 'The Bucket of Steam'I have made a start on my site.I have decided to call it 'The Bucket of Steam' 
www.freewebs.com/lesmarsh It is very much work in progress and subject to lots of changes. Not all the headings are complete but hopefully it gives you a taste of whats there. All comments, good or bad are welcome.

Les, great start...getting to the point you are at is the biggest hurdle, now you can gradually populate the various headings with text and pics like you did for the Arnold pieces.
I love keeping a website for my collection...sort of a personal scrap book that gives order to chaos at times. Will check back regularly to see how you are doing... Rog |

Thank you. Did you only see the Arnold pieces. I have done the Bowman, Krauss and the SELs as well. |

Great start  Good layout and good stuff

I find that adding pieces as they arrive is a lot of fun too, I do not have a counter on my page but I have received emails from several that have visited my page. I bet yours will be a standard of reference as you have a nice collection of accessories and engines accompanied with some knowledge I think I lack both.

Honestly Les, I started with the Arnolds, but after the Bing engines and accessories tabs came up empty, I figured you had just populated the Arnold part. I have now remedied that and gone back to look at the other completed sections. It sort of becomes fun if you keep up with it!! Next step, add video links to PB for each engine. There are all sorts of neat things you can do now...sometimes I "run" my engines via my website!!! |

Les great start mate, I like the layout and style a lot.
You have some lovely Bowman accessories and your SEL engines and accessories are awesome to see. 
As Rog and John said, you have done the hard part now. It’s going to be a pleasure seeing you load it up over the coming weeks, keep up the good work. |

| Les |
Thank you for your kind words.
I have not added any more pictures tonight but have done a lot of editting and putting in descriptions. You are right, getting started is the hardest part so now I have I will just keep plodding along. |

Great work so far, I can tell that this is a project in its own. | ||||
| Les |
Thankyou all. I have recently put your 'wanted' item on there John.
It is not as easy as you realise as I have had to re-take most of the pictures and then download, upload, link and gods knows what else, but I am getting there slowly. Still a lot to do such as filling out the what is already on the site and adding more as I go. |

| Les |
My two Jensen's and my generator have now been added, all I have to do is write some blurb about the company.
|
||||
| Les |
I have just added a Links page so if anyone wants their site linked to mine (and vise versa) please let me know.
I have already linked yours John and added the Forum as well. |
