Hello from Sydney Australia!

[CockyJoe]

Hi everyone,

I belong to vibrant Garden railways group, my interests are in Live steam 'G'scale 1/32 scale, 1/20, 1/19 and 7/8ths scale.
I like to build and modify locos occasionally and run my trains at private and public steamups.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi Paul,

This is a coal fired project I am working on, it has a few commercial bits such as the cab etch and "Edrig' chassis but all the detail work etc is custom made. Some pics below.

Cheers,
Joe

Welcome to the forum Joe....

Welcome Joe, as I'm sure you've already noticed we have a pretty good contingent of your compatriots from the Antipodes on here!
That loco looks beautiful, and the detail work is amazing.... I think we will be learning from you rather than vice-versa.....

Jon.

Thanks everyone for the welcome! I've already been perusing some of the forum posts, some interesting things there.
Cheers, Joe

Welcome aboard Joe.

I digress! Some of you may wonder about my avitar being a 'cockatoo' instead of something that runs on rails (or off the rails!) .... well it's a pic of my pet cockatoo 'Jo' she's been with me since 1974, still going strong and totally mad and crazy just like her owner.

Welcome to the Forum!

Very nice detail-work there.. Not jealous of the skill-level at all, honest!

 

[CockyJoe]

Thanks again everyone!

I have projects that could cover two lifetimes!! am I mad or what! .... I'd better get cracking!!

 

[korm kormsen]

when you would have finished everything, you would feel superflouos, useless.

i'm a firm believer in high goals and low stress.
