David Sztencel Author

David Sztencel has been a lifelong railway modeller from the age of five, when he was given the proverbial Hornby-Dublo blow the train set as a Christmas present by his parents. Following many years of working as a buyer and stock controller in the engineering industry, and then a second career involving horticulture, riding stables, teaching and assessing NVQ courses, he is now retired. Besides the railway modelling and being a member of various railway orientated societies, his interests include gardening, reading and listening to classical music, especially opera of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
