I never had any trouble with Tom though I was fairly circumspect in the way I approached him, such was his reputation.
I will say that he did the live steam hobby a lot of good, and while his ideas, especially the more fanciful, did not always turn out as well as he hoped, he did at least push the boundaries. I still have a Merlin Hunslet which I purchased in 1983, my first live steam loco, and I'm very proud of it. Sam E in UK Ron Brown wrote: > Good for you, Geoff.
