Hi Steve, can I just mention that this meeting may benefit from an entry on to the meets and events calendar for better distribution of this thread.

Chat soon.

I kept forgetting to put things on the calendar and I think many do, but well worth the few minutes doing it !
Take care, and regards to the family.

I suppose I am a bit of a "steam fan" as I own, maintain and operate a full size standard gauge railway steam locomotive: weighs in at 48.5 tons, will haul 1,120 tons on the level and I have owned it for 33 years.

Most recent job (September) was renewing the brake blocks. I used my car trolley jack to lift each individual block and associated brake hangar into place - saves a bad back etc/
