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

DEB Set Fundraising Raffle 2017 No. 3

  How can you help see a 12 inch to the foot scale DEB? By assisting in reintroducing it before its HO scale replica is released!
  As usual I will ask that you can share as many times as you can, this is quite an investment and the more people involved the greater profits go to returning a NSWGR DEB Set back into service - preferably before the HO scale replica is released!
   This is a Special raffle as all 3 prizes are roughly the same, however listed in my preference!
  Now I would sit here and explain the history of the prize train but let’s be fair….. If you don’t know by now maybe this is not the group for you (joking, but best to start reading!)

FIRST PRIZE – HO scale Eureka NSWGR 4 Car DEB Set (Reverse Livery) with Sound.
SECOND PRIZE – HO Scale Eureka NSWGR 4 Car DEB Set (Indian Red Livery) with Sound.
THIRD PRIZE – HO Scale Eureka NSWGR 4 Car DEB Set (Candy Livery) with Sound.

  As you all know the sets have not arrived yet, however they are ordered and paid for. As soon as they land they will be delivered to the winners. I will keep everyone up to date on arrival times for the sets.

Donate HERE and help this important project.


NOTE; This has not been started to begin a flame war with the Candy Community. Maybe.
  To be drawn on April 14th 2018.
