Welcome to my Stomepage. The site's name is a mix of "home" and "stome" and pronounced as such. Stome is not an existing word (yet) but is pronounced the same way as our Dutch word for "steam" written as "stoom". In this site I would like to show how I enjoy our live steam hobby (see "My steam efforts" in the left frame). It all started with a Wilesco steamroller and the hobby expanded. Three live steam locomotives (Bison, ex-Mamod, Regner 99211 and the Aster 8550) some rolling stock and a circuit of track (LGB) around our pond is the status at this moment. When joining a steam society, called Stoomgroep Zuid (see "Stoomgroep Zuid" in the left frame), things accelerated quickly. Many steamtrain related events have been visited (see "Train related outings" in the left frame). Also our bi-monthly club-nights are a good source of inspiration. The buttons to the left also takes you to further pages which might interest you, video clips, pictures and links. Due to my membership of our Steam Society I cam in touch with the larger locomotives, this materialized in the purchase of a gauge 3-1/2 track engine the Virginia. Have fun!
