Looking for an idea for an Engineer’s Day out? Have you ever visited the Kirkaldy Testing Museum?

Have you got a few minutes to make a useful workshop addition? Stewart Hart makes a very simple foot for a depth gauge, thereby freeing up your other hand! In our cover feature this time, Barry Potter, a professional model engineer of many years’ standing, describes the lowly goods engines that he grew very fond of after building a number for customers and for his own pleasure. As will all Barry’s work, the inspirational detailing of the engines is worth studying.
Gallery returns with something a little different - and possibly an idea for Christmas presents for little ones.
Bantam Cock comes to an end as LBSC completes the engine and takes it for its first run.
