Ramon Wilson reworks the original boiler of his 2 inch scale model of a clinker built steam launch in order to bring it up to modern standards.

Members of the National 2½ Inch Gauge Association have been busy resurrecting some of LBSC's lost drawings. Neil Heppenstall provides a brief overview. We also have a sample of Dean Da Silva's CAD illustrations of some of LBSC's locomotives.
Chris Gunn continues his series on the Garrett 4CD Tractor by describing the manufacture of the steering mechanism, using mostly material scavenged from the scrap bin.
Wally, it seems, is quite out of puff. Bob Reeve spins a tale of how he put the wind back in Wally's sails by equipping him with a brand new set of gears.
