Wouldn't it be wonderful if an actual enthusiast bought ME. alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.alanstepney.info Model Engineering, Steam Engine, and Railway technical pages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Rickard" <the_viffer@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 4:16 PM Subject: [modeleng] Highbury House plc This company owns (I think still) Model Engineer.
