I'm a recently "semi" retired machinist/toolmaker. 50+years making chips of perfectly good metal, just to shovel them up at the end of the day and get paid for it. Bought a PM 1340GT and a PM 833T and lots of fixins. It's been 2 years and the list of projects keeps getting longer. Building a model steam engine is getting closer to the top. Thanks for having me.

Welcome; great to have new folks here.
I have been interested in steam engines for a long time, and am fascinated by the never ending variety that I find.
Good luck with your engine building !
