Hello Barrie, I think you are right I to have known a couple of engineers
whos partners went first. At the moment I have lost interest in loco's, I
have 2 to finish, but there is no rush as only 1 has gone frrom the 3 I sold
to Station Road Steam in September. I am playing with magnets & getting
encourageing signs.My missus says it is time I packed up as I recently lost
the top joint of the middle finger on my right hand On the Milling
Machine.still I'm not doing to bad I'm 85 on Saturday.
Cheers. Eric.
