The Semi-Retired Foamer has been a railfan since he was around 5 years old, oh yes a very young age, an age when one really should avoid being involved with the gunzel community to any great extent. A few rather unsavoury people bringing that fact home.
After a few decades of train chasing, one decided to break with protocol and get married, thus leading to a severe cut in railfan activity.
Subsequent dealings with hate breeders, lunatics, mental defectives and self-appointed preservation overlords lead to an even greater decrease in my hobby participation.
However things have changed thanks to our small group of trusted mates, interest has returned, and now I have become a bit more involved yet again..
_
 Over the years I have tried my best to further both the hobby, as well as the friendships that it brings. I have done this by setting up proactive groups both here in Australia, as well as the Philippines. It is with huge honour that I am often considered the founding father of the railfan hobby in the Philippines (my second home).
_
I don't take the hobby too seriously and I am a friend to anyone who is good and genuine. But never forgive those who have used their hate to destroy my hobby or hurt the friends within it.

Let's Make The Hobby Great Again!
I aim to share the era that I considered mine, the 80s and 90s. I also like to help promote, and even raise funds for, the various heritage societies that keep the era alive

The mysterious tittie loco!


Ahhhh yes, the mysterious tittie loco as apearing in my first blog turned up around Sydney lately.

What these strange pictures on the side of 4497 mean has been a source of great concern for the local railfans who have never seen such things. Is Independant Rail selling watermelons? Are they supposed to be pillows?

Ahhh yes much confusion has been unleashed on the local gunzel community!

Perhaps one of the gunzel rags will hold the answer to this greatest of mysteries, a mystery equal in the railfan universe to the best Fox and Scully ever had to deal with. Perhaps the answer lays with your mum and the earliest days of your existence.

The Semi-Retired Foamer sensed the urgency of this mystery and hunted the offending locomotive down. It was found hiding, not extremely well, at the Chullora railway workshops. The strange scribings have been hidden from passing traffic and are only availale to the very fortunate few railway workers who frequent this location.

We may need to talk. There has been quite a bit of interest in a decal of this for models down here :-)
