New member fron Front Royal, VA
« on: December 28, 2016, 07:59:58 PM »
I originally registered about a year ago and have been following along with many of you since then.  I worked as a machinist apprentice for a year after high school, spent 10 years in the US Navy, then worked in the electronics field until I retired 4 years ago.  I have always had a woodworking shop, added welding after I retired, then made the mistake of attending the last 2 Cabin Fever shows.  Over the last year I have added machinist tools to my shop and just finished my first engine, a PMR #1.  I look forward to becoming more active on the forum now that I have actually finished an engine.  I will post pictures of my shop and a video of the PMR #1 running if I can figure out how to post a video.  I look forward to seeing some of you at the CF show in 2 weeks.

Hi Jon,
Welcome to the Forum!

Unfortunately, I won't be at Cabin Fever to meet you in person, but several other forum members will likely be there.  Enjoy the show!

Welcome Jon. Glad to have you with us. The PMR #1 is a great engine and I look forward to seeing yours. You should find a tutorial on linking to videos here: http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,95.0.html

Welcome to the MEM forum!  :cheers: I have not been too active here - I am more involved with electric motors and EVs and other electronics projects.  :zap:

I've been to Front Royal several times. In 1971 I went on a canoe trip on the Shenandoah from Luray to Front Royal, and I have stayed in the "Glass House" (a PATC cabin) within hiking distance of Signal Knob. I plan to attend Cabin Fever again this year. If you will be passing through the Baltimore area we could meet up and share driving.

          Welcome to MEM Jon,  Sounds like you've got the bug.

                                                                  My name is Gary and I build model engines.  :)

Welcome to the forum Jon. Great place to hang out.

I'm looking forward to seeing your shop pictures, as well as your PMR #1.

Welcome to the forum.  I was in Front Royal for the first time when I saw the 611, The Queen of Steam.  She was under power with 23 passenger cars, on her way Manassas.
