You know, just over a year ago I started a thread featuring some of the now late Kevin Thomsons photographs, one which, until his recent passing he had continued, but I started it with his photographs from the first meet at Teretonga back in 1958. They can be found here http://www.theroaringseason.com/showthread.php?629-The-Kevin-Thomson-Collection-part-2-something-old-and-something-well-newer

Sean, they are very special photos, and now very poignant. What a great record of a very special place, and a magnificent era.

Yeah Rhys, aren't they just. It just reminds you that life is short and there are too many stories untold. You know we look around the members online here at TRS, too much will be lost when people pass.
I look at my own father in law, a man who, until recently was the head steam engine restorer at Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, his combined staff of volunteers were, at a guess, an average age of well over 50, nearly 60 and that age was only brought down by a 35 year old woman, however the point is that there are skills that he has that are not being taught anymore, skills that are still valid and useful.

[Oldfart]

You are very right. I have been spending time learning to not only steer, but drive a traction engine, at least some is being passed down, of course I am well into the same statistic. Now I can not progress any more as the museum can't get funding to replace boiler tubes. You have not felt horsepower till you experience steam!
