Roger Backhouse visits Tower Bridge and investigates the Armstrong influence - the work of the beautifully preserved hydraulic engine.
The Editor reports on more of the award winning entries at the recent Doncaster Show and features one model from the Guild of Model Wheelwrights on the cover of this issue.
Dr. Michael Ackerman has been considering the conventions of miniature magnetos and gives some thought to a new design.
