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

OPERATION HURRICANE 2002

 


Way back in 2002, along with Daven and Chris Walters (not related), I ventured north to Cairns for a fortnight of hunting cane locomotives from Mossman Mill down to Moreton.

The aim was to see how many locomotives we could photograph on the trip and, while I can't actually recall the number, it was in the vicinity of 300 (including some preserved ones not listed below).

Also not listed below are the sightings at Moreton Mill, as my cataloguing efforts have seen my doing that mill separate to the rest.

Below is a listing of our trip sightings.  Some notes may seem a bit strange, but they were intended to help me identify photos.
