New member from south Bucks.
« on: October 25, 2014, 10:00:55 PM »
Hi there! I am a retired B.T. engineer, (formerly G.P.O. remember those days?). I used to repair teleprinters and fax machines;(remember those?). I have been model engineering for about fifty years. My main interest is stationary steam engines, but I am interested in all aspects of engineering, particularly from the past. I have built a number of Stuart's model over the years, a Clarkson's "table engine", and a model of Doctor Ernst Alban's pendulous engine,  which was made without castings. I will post some pictures in due course. This forum seems to be just what I was looking for. :)

Bucks county, PA?  Give us a clue of your locale.  Better yet, put it in your personal text so it shows up under your avatar.

Welcome aboard! BT and GPO means the UK, unless you've emigrated. I live in High Wycombe, Bucks so not too far from you.

Hi guys, thanks for all the welcomes. I'm afraid there will be a little delay on the pictures, as I seem to have managed to loose all my picture files of engines! :'( Must be getting old.  Will re-photo asap.

Regards   Coxy
