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

~~ A STEAMY HUNTER ADVENTURE ~~
28-11-2009

Steamy? Yes, but because of the extreme temperatures, not for what your dirty perverted gunzel minds may be thinking.

A lunch at Mayfield to celebrate the aunties birthday naturally lead on to an afternoon of lineside bliss, and who better to spend this time with than Kurri Kurri's own kettle expert, Mr Nathan.
Despite the very brief amount of time, a number of good sights were seen, some even of the train variety.




Kurri local and international porn star, Mr Nathan!



The secret missle launching program at Kooragang is taking shape.

Hmmmm enough to boil the blood of any true gunzel.


Gunzel excitment was the order of the day as G539 BL26 48108 48165 and 4886 scream through Warabrook with a Cobar bound ore train.


The sight of MrNathan's new foamer chariot next to 8601 became all a bit to much for him.


Why Warabrook is loved by railfans everywhere.

Ahhhhh a sweet moment between god daddy and Tin Tin!
No, he did not have boiled lollies.
8601 again.

8251 8252 pass through Warabrook with an up Stratford coalie.


And crosses a Tranny.

Sadly just a western one, but as it was quite on the train front we took the opportunity.

McFuggly cars!

TT01.
This class is a bit of a focal point for the local Filipino community. TT in Tagalog means, ahhmmmm, well penis. Looks like Pacific National has got themselves a dickie locomotive class.
