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

RANDOM BUS GUFF PT4

 


Howdee punters, I've finally got enough stuff to make a part 4 of my bus series possible.

Sadly, I never took quite as many bus shots as I suppose I should have, despite this being my main hobby before the trains came along. There will be more in the future, but a part 5 is likely going to be some time down the track.


Bomaderry station (near Nowra).
I used to often catch the train here to visit my aunty/uncle in Cambewarra. All the times I saw these beauties awaiting the train, but only ever took a couple of shots.


M/O 7456 at Parramatta station.


M/O 5331 at Parramatta station.


M/O 364 at Homebush Bay. We had caught it from Mascot to the Royal Easter Show.



DB-600, another Fijian classic departing Lautoka for Nadi.
Fiji was a bus fans paradise back in 2006


One of State Rail's, remember them, rubber tyred rail motors at Moss Vale in the Southern Highlands.



Religious folk in Bourke Street Mall, Melbourne.
