Hi, my name is John. I live in upstate New York. A few years ago I retired from the bricklayers union.I finally have the time and resources to set up a small shop in my garage. I have completed two steam engines (from Stuart castings) and a Jan Ridders "Puppy" engine. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. I look forward to learning from and possibly adding to this forum. Thanks again for letting me join. John
