[modeleng] Re: Seen at Ally Pally, was RE: Re: Steam Boats

See if you can find any info on the Haleson steam bike, we have discussed it 
here a couple of times. I used to drink with the owners brother but now have 
lost touch. I know the bike, powered by flash steamm, is based witht the 
owner and his motor cycle collection, itself worth seeing and all live in 
the Black Countryish village of Kinver. The steam bike appears at a lot of 
the steam rallys around the country and I know never misses Stourbridge town 
open day... like a carnival thing outside the town hall.
Hope this helps a bit Chris, certainly the website for the bikes boiler... 
flash steam and doesn't need a cert!!!.. is worth a visit,  If you are 
struggling, I think I might have some of the articles here, just might take 
me a while to find them.
Regards,

Dave.
