Hi Paul and Peter, welcome to the madhouse!! A real decent bunch of chaps
here who have helped me out, never be frightened to ask. Some of the answers
contain uses for Black Pudding, Real Ales and Yaks milk but all will be
useful. Hope you enjoy yourselves.
Dave.

In response to the request to know more about new members, here goes...
Have been a model engineer since 1979, started with a Tich and have built 5
more locos since. These include an Ajax, Maid of Kent, Speedy, Charlatan
(Blackgates Battery loco) and a Sweet William
Divorce curtailed the contruction of my 6th loc, a 7.25" Sweet William,
which was finished my my very dear friend, Geoff Starbuck of the Nottingham
SMEE and can be seen hauling passengers regularly at their Ruddington site.
My son retained the Tich and I kept the Maid of Kent (I love that
loco)...only so much you can keep in a one bedroomed flat!!
I was Hon Gen Sec of the Nottingham SM&EE for 3-4 years
Workshop in store and 4 locos sold on after the divorce, I moved to
Birmingham where I have joined the Kinver&WMSME where I first met IP (from
the list) Hi Ian... Have sent you some dates for our next curry!
Workshop has been fired up again and the new lady in my life has demanded
that I build her a Sweet Pea, cos she likes the shiny bits, and I am well on
with that at present as a 'quick build' Well that was the theory but its
taken 4 months to get some of the castings so far....
She has announced that she will be turning up at the club with her 'L'
plates in Summer (not if Blackgates have anything to do with it but thats
another thread)
Main interest has been 5" gauge but I want to grow up now and play with the
big boys (7.25" Gauge)
As you will already know, for a while, I played with the bigger boys on the
15" gauge Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway where I was in the main a
signalman at Hythe and have had quite a bit of footplate experience in the
2-3 years I went there. Even did some 5.00am in the morning firelighting in
on high season...A wonderful railway...
Hope this tells you something about me anyway
