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

MEMORABILIA THEFT FROM JUNEE.

***Announcement****

  Sometime between the hours of 18:00 Sunday night the 08-09-2019 and 09:00 Monday morning the 09-09-2019, my double garage/man cave was broken into, resulting in many tools, cherished and valuable items go missing, including different railway memorabilia which I have collected over many years. Unfortunately, due to the high on going cost of insurance, there was no insurance to cover the items, so as you could imagine I’m devastated...

  Entry was forced through one of the two roller doors, backing on to the back lane in my street, and because of the nature of the items that have been stolen, it looks to be a targeted attack????

Obviously I have spoke to the police and investigations are continuing.

So,.....I send a shout out to everyone, especially my fellow railway comrades and collectors, could you please be on the look out on any social media pages, eBay, Gumtree, private collectors etc, for any of the following more unique and valued items:

*Any C class Locomotive memorabilia. (Except for HO scale locomotive models.)
*5 inch gauge 1/12th scale “C” class V/Line liveried “Live” locomotives.
*Clyde Engineering oval makers plates, with model/serial numbers from 76-825 to 77-833.
*C class cab side number plates, C504, C502, C507.
*Copy/replica C501 plates.
*5 chime Leslie Supertyfon S5t Horns x 2.
*Any ATN Access/Australian Transport Network memorabilia.
*Light blue and yellow Locomotive front headlight assembly with globes.
*C class “back lighted” front and rear number boards.
*HSV (Holden Special Vehicle) tool chest and socket sets.
*Lincoln Air compressor, 50 litre V twin, light blue in colour.

  If you see any of these items arise and you are not sure of the ownership etc, could you please contact Junee Police on 0269241144 or myself directly on 0459760276, where the item can be checked against the full list of items on mine or the police data base.

Thanks Guys.
Kev
