I saw my first engine when I was about 7 and wanted one, but haveing a very strict upbringing I was not allowed as it meant playing with matches. No pond yachts, in case I fell in the canal-- good excuses from my mother.
Now at my age I started collecting a few engines, which was almost a life long ambition, no mother to stop me now.
Unlike all the younger members, who were brought up with keyboards, I am strictly a one finger -- where's the next letter -- man. As you will guess I have not typed this, I recruited my wife (Christine) to do it for me.
Hope to get more involved in single lined comments in the future. I will post some pictures of my collection in the next few days.

Hmmmm. Hello Tony.
Welcome to the forum.
I was also born in 1943.
Moved to Brighouse (near Leeds) after the war.
Saw my first engine when at junior school.
Type with 1(+) fingers.
Have a wife named Christine!
Small world innit.
