Live Steam Model Engineering

Had I been born 20 years earlier I think I would have ended up in some form of mechanical engineering. However, all the local engineering companies were going through hard times when I was coming out of school. Indeed, all have long since closed.

As a result, and to cut a long story short, I ended up in the software engineering business instead. Whilst this is a great and satisfying career I can't shake off the desire to build things out of 'bits of metal', as my wife puts it.

Given I'm driven by desire and have no formal training in such skills, the following pages chronicle my first few 'floundering' steps into the wonderful world of live steam model engineering.

I hope you enjoy them, even though you are probably a TT buff to be on this site in the first place.
