Hello everybody. I am a certified bicycle mechanic, a Matchbox and Hotwheels collector who recently got bitten by the Steam bug. I "restored" a Mamod SE1a and I am in the process of building a McCabe runner. This looks like a great place to hang out.

Hi Gerry, and a big Scottish welcome to the forum.

Great to see another Canadian member here. I've got many friends in your beautiful country and visit often.

You're in good company here, and I'm sure you'll enjoy talking steam with some of the finest folks in the hobby.

We've all got the steam bug, and this is where we congregate for therapy.

Welcome,  This is one of the only places in the world where a grown man can talk about playing with his doll and nobody thinks twice about it.
