Hi Geoff and Mark.

Welcome to the MEW forum. There are a lot of people here who can share a wealth of information on a number of subjects. I live in Sydney, Australia and am also a retired and now have more time to enjoy my hobbies. I am mainly interested in steam and I am building a traction engine.

Paul.
