Hello Carl !
Thank a lot for the compliments but this is a bit too much as I just try to modestly achieve the wonderfull work of this Forum's Members.
I won't tell any name but I have shining eyes and a hint of jealousy looking at some boats .
Unfortunately , I do not have pic of the planking ; but these two below , as this not the most exciting part of the work and above all not rewarding.
Just good to see the defaults and where to improve or modify.
No need for a museum, as like almost everyone here , with burnt moustaches by firing up their boiler, the next generation is more "locked down" on there I-phone screen than on the satisfaction to make something to work !
I am afraid that when we'll meet all , together in the Steam heavens and share a pint , the heirs phone to the scrap dealer and get rid of the stuff to gain some room and have a good meal!
That is why I am glad to leave here, a trace of my hobby , by showing you what's in my barn !
I must have about 40 boats and all type of engines , boilers, and so on , and every one in the family gives a damn !
(please don't tell my wife , she thinks that I am writing a book) LOL!Thanks again and keep safe.
Best regards.
