Name: Jim Burns, live Charlotte, NC, retired Stockbroker. For many years in HO, N, even Z. Found "G" about 5 years ago via inside, around ceiling sparkers running two rooms thru wall. Didn't know they were available in LS! For many years enjoyed hobby of metal work and constructed several stationary steam engines, Displacement oilers, small boilers, etc. Have moved from Unimat to 9" South Bend and 12" Clausing. Lucky enough to own couple mills, die filers, shaper, etc. discovered LS at local club steamup. First impression--What's that loud whistle?, what's butane? Downhill from there. Have been Diamondhead past three times, twice to West Coast Nat'l Steamup. Wife and I travel Northern Va, Florida or anywhere when poss to enjoy the company of the steaming community. Own several Asters, Argyles, Frank S's, Catatonks, Pearse and Roundhouses.Love 'em all and want more. Have small outdoor track oval, brass, dbl track, LGB and Aristo Wides. Am a less than serious participant on chat lines on LSOL and SitG. Know several of you via DH or chatlines.Though I have some large engines, I enjoy smaller engines and Gears! Prefer butane, still learning alcohol. Have enjoyed the hobby and the people in it very, very much. "David M.
