THE AUTHOR !

Like all Webmaster, I'll speak a bit about Myself....

A long time ago... Ricky (at this time 18 years old) in the cab of a belgian steam engine Class 10 of the Belgian State Railways, preserved by the Museum of Louvain.

OK, Let's Go !

The Webmaster (On the right side on the picture, taken when he was 18), his age is now ... (He's born in 1970, so just calculate...), Er..., He's a Fan of everything that ride on rails... Being trains, Streetcars, etc..., he's often on the way searching for the perfect picture to use with one or an other dossier...

When he's not outside (or more regulary working in a Library in Liège), He's at home on his computer, creating new pages, or in his workshop where he bring new models to life....Newer quiet, the Webmaster.... And more, he often forget to speak about his Contest's awards won in lots of National and International competitions and exhibitions where he goes (A first place in Historical Figure contest in Liège in 1998..., Two others in may 1999 in Waremme, and loricky-alpha-jet.jpg (13316 octets)ts of second and third place he also won (not far than twelve I guess), and more again, he also work for the Airzone Website, devoted to Military aircraft's history and modelling (for wich he also write lots of articles, and finally the Week-ends spent along military airbases or in international Airshows (like the ones in Beauvechain or Koksijde in Belgium) , where he shot all that take-off or land...

So, when you ask something and that the answer takes time to come, Please think that He have to do all the HTML encodings, exhibitions and competitions where He goes, and the days (and nights) spent in Libraries, Archive centers, or at home writing articles on his computer... So don't fire on the Keyboard-Runner (the man that type like hell on his keyboard, sure...), he's making his best to bring you the correct answer...

For years he works on the Net (on this Website, but also on others), He's made some progress and is proud to present you today this new version of the Trainmaster Website, Only devoted to Model Railroading and real trains pictures. And till now, you have this English Version (the Dutch one would take more time to be built, sorry to the Netherland based readers, but I'm still searching somebody that could translate my articles in this language) .

So, if you wand to help Him by writing some short "How-To" articles that would be published with proper credit (name, Email and URL adresses included to the Article, plus an URL in the Links section), He'll be very glad and that will help him a lot to develop this website more again...

Voila... Just a bit hard to present himself on the third person, but it's so better... than the two first ones... (laughs) !
