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

Semi-Retired Foamer Changes!


Howdee,
We are exhausted (see photo) after a hard night on the computer.
Unless your suffering sight damage caused by years of personal habits, you will no doubt have noticed that the blog site has changed.
I have long been unhappy with the narrow layout originally used, especially when you have a number of extended articles which seem to go on downwards forever.
While most of you were likely in bed cuddled up and enjoying some sleep, the 'Semi-Retired Foamer' was hard at it redesigning the site, just for the benefit of my readers when they awoke this morning.
It was a long process, but presents are not necessary, however financial gifts will not be declined.
Hopefully we now have a more readable site.
These changes have also been made to my Philippine Railways and Aussie Donks blogsites.

Cheers
Brad
