Radiographer Peter Trenery was the Guest Speaker at last Wednesday’s meeting of the Rotary Club of Nhill. Peter is well known amongst those who have engaged his services through x-rays and ultrasounds during his visits to the Nhill hospital, however his presentation last week was about his other passion. Peter is a volunteer train driver with the Puffing Billy steam train. Peter simplified his role as a radiographer, “All bodies are the same, just find the problem. Trains, however, are all different.”
Peter qualified as an Engine Cleaner in 2001. By June 2002 he had completed a Safe-working course and qualified as a Guard/Signalman. Peter continued to develop his skills and achieved his certificates of competency as a Trolley Driver and Fire Patrol in 2004, a Steam Fireman in 2007, and finally a Steam Locomotive Driver in 2016. He has completed over 25 years as a volunteer with the Puffing Billy service.
