Talking You guys

Enoch & David ..... You can both stop the lo-co talk at once !!

One thing in life I bitterly regret is, not taking more interest in my late fathers passion for steam locomotives.

When I say lack of interest, what I really mean is not taking the chance to learn some of the skills needed in order to do such intricate work & as is the way of things, that particular door is now closed

My late father produced some wonderfull stuff on his baby Myford lathe .... It used to blow my mind with some of the very intricate components he produced.

I was lucky enough to be given some of his text books & several full sets of plans.
Once the Roadster is built, I fully intend to pick one of the projects & have a crack at it.

All I have to do is learn the skills needed & find a great big double helping of patience ( Not my strongest point )

Thank's to you both for bringing a little nostalga into a nice bright sunny morning
