I can give you some basic tips,if you like.

 

Only if you are a hottie. And that's for me to decide. 555

 

The training is not in technique but stamina. I have no problems in the stamina department and want to keep it that way.

I believe there is one in Chiang Rai, a couple of hundred metres before the rear entrance to Central Plaza. Leastways they have a big yellow RC airplane in the window. I will have s look when I am next in town and send you some pics if you like.

The glory days of steam rail, before the diesel destroyed the romance of it.

Yes. 

But.

Lighting up and preparing (oiling round underneath) a recalcitrant 80 year old GWR steam locomotive, in the early hours of a December morning, to work that days Santa Specials, as the wind and rain sweep in over Minehead's sea front, has very little glory and <deleted> all romance!

 

I spent many (happy) years working in my spare time as an amateur railwayman on one of the UK's steam heritage railways.

 

Happy days!

Still work so I don't have the amount of free time that others have here, but try to stay fit, and I do a bit of painting when I can. Doing something for every wall slowly.

 

An abstract throwback to my pyschadealic youth.????

 

Buddha for the wife.????

 

Bamboo for the nature lover. ????️

 

I also enjoy adding to my duty free collection through travel. ????

 

..... And walking the dog .????

True, but.

 

I'll bet not many schoolboys gather to watch the 9.10 to Wherever diesel pass by and make a note of it in their railway book.

 

They belonged in a different age, when Britain was Great and the battleship ruled the waves. I doubt we'll see such again.

Sadly we don't seem to have become more enlightened and still seek better way to kill each other while children starve.

Futaba is available in Thailand, good equipment but expensive.

I started with a Flysky FSi6X which I used for a year, 1,400 baht with a receiver. Good beginner radio but as the price suggests, cheap. Moved on to a Radiomaster TX16S, 5,300 baht from a Thai dealer on Lazada, has all the bells and whistles and uses Open TX which allows it to connect with multiple brands of reciever.
