  1. Hi Do you take your roller to rallies been involved with steam for a number of years we also have a boat but are near Skipton

  2. Hi As you may have seen in my other Thread I am a bit of a Steam nut, and was wondering if anyone on here has a Steam Narrow boat? Cheers Dave
  3. Hi Thanks for that, I did remember reading I needed so many posts for it to be activated when signing up under the terms and conditions etc,, and that it could be if I was to ask a moderator, so expected a reply, never got one, so no worries now, with it only being 5, thats do able! Cheers Dave This is an excellent Idea, could I trouble the above boat owners to tell me a bit about their boats? I will do the same about my roller, when you know the make you may not want to play, if you like one make and not another... She is a Robey of Lincoln, one of very few left, espcially in the UK, think you can count them on one hand, especially the ones that are in steam. She is very slow, about 2mph maybe 3 if the wind is the right way, but she is quite a light old girl only weiging a rated 7 ton. She also has a nice new roof on her which I just put on last weekend, so you will not get cinders in your hair, or get wet should we have a shower... Cheers Dave
  4. Hi I haven't replied to anyone yet, I have been waiting for a moderator or some such person to answer my query about Private Messages. I have sent a reuest or Question over a week ago and have had no reply yet. Had to email them, as couldn't acces PM's Hence Request... lol Hopefully when I get a Reply I will be able to contact people. Cheers Dave
  5. Hi Well thanks for all the replies, I expected the moderators to have taken it off as it is a weird request for my first post, which I would have understood etc. I never thought I would have had so many generous people offering. I would love to meet everyone, so many friendly people... I Just have to decide who to go with. I think the only way I can do it is to wait for a few days, and then put the replies in a hat and pick one out. If I had limitless funds and time, I would take you all up on your offers, but I don't have the time to do this, or the moneyt o burn so much coal... lol A special message to NB Alton, so sorry I missed you, I have been working on the said steam roller all day. I would love to see your boat at some point and meet you though as you are working on the canals and by the sounds of your blog you have an old boat too. :-) I love old things.. Probably why I like the canals. Cheers Dave
  6. Hey This may be a bit of a strange Request, I have a great interest in Narrow boats and the Canals, but haven't really been on a boat on them at all. I had the grand idea the other day whilst gardening, to try and find someone close to Nantwich with a boat that may fancy a trade. I wondered if someone may take me aboard for a day on their boat for a trip out along some nice waterways etc, show me the ins and outs of boating, and all the associated things. In Return I could take you out for a day on my hobby, which is steam engines, you could come for a trip one day trundling along the lanes on my steam roller, I will show you the ins and outs of engines. I know I could possibly hire a boat or pay for a trip, but some say I am tight, I just spend most of my money on the Steam engine, and thought it could be fun, possibly a good way to make a new set of friends too. Anyway hope I don't sound too cheeky, and hope the moderators don't mind me asking this, I hope to take part and learn from this forum from now on too. Best Regards Dave
