Hans, my first memories are of Malmesbury station - we lived on the station!

My dad was a cleaner, fireman, past-fireman and driver on steam. Then diesel and finally suburban till he retired. Most of my family worked for SAS/SAR...

Its a strange but deep love of growing up poor but loving it.

The smell of steam - is there anything like it I wonder?

Let me fall asleep and dream of working an S2 with my dad aged 11 in Epping Industria... :biggrin:

Dear BigEd!
I'm a real railway Enthusiast, with a long history. The Furka Steam Rack Railway (DFB) in Switzerland was one of my biger Projects. But I have to say, I envy your CV!  ;D
Regards
Hans
