Retired steam engineer

[daisytwoduffsParticipant @daisytwoduffs]

Hello, daisytwoduffs intro.

I am a retired Royal Navy engineer with experience in steam, diesel and gas (turbine) machinery up to 15,000SHP.

City and Guilds workshop tech with 1000+ hours in workshop during training.

Looking forward to retirement and creating models in my workshop with small lathe, pillar drill, hand tools and a woodworking workshop with chop saw, fret saw and hand tools.

cheers, Daisy

Welcome aboard shipmate, spent a large part of my life working with marine, but not SHP s of that magnitude. You will find us mostly a happy bunch and if you have a question then there will usually be someone who can help. Best wishes Noel.

15000SHP!  Woof, woof, I want one!

What sort of models?  Marine I hope, the sea is under represented in Model Engineering these days.

Whatever you do, welcome,

Dave

Welcome aboard as Noel would say.

My most powerful marine diesel was only 400 bhp, so not in the same league

Your experience can be put to good use on here
