I'm not doing any more steam study; I've done enough! But maybe some photography and computer study would come in handy?

Post by: Nick on April 29, 2021, 01:08:15 pm: I had a father/son in my small group that came from North Carolina, so people do travel from all around the country to this. There really are not that many schools out there I guess that offer such a great opportunity (and at such a low cost)

Congrats Charlie! (and daughter)

The School's cost is truly negligible, but I fear that the overall logistics are a bit beyond what I can reasonably manage at this point in life. Then again, other than the fun of doing and learning, I don't see any chance at all of ever making use of the skills attained.

"Steam School' how cool does that sound!

It’s a great time Jim!! You can be a newbie to steam that morning and you will be running an engine the second day. Did I mention the grounds are right next to an airport ;)

Hehehe we aren't allowed to leave Oz at the moment because of Covid ;)
