Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Thanks gentlemen for your kind comments and yes Jim I was a machinist (just retired) by trade, I did my apprenticeship at AIS (Port Kembla Steelworks)
and then worked in Nowra machining gearboxes for a farm machinery manufacture, (long gone) I then joined the Air Force and became a Aircraft Engine technician.
All the best
Gary.
