Alan,

I have been impressed by  Maisies I have seen in steam.  Although Atlantics 
do not appeal to me, I can see why this has been such a succesful model 
engineering design: LBSC's practical approach (Inspector Meticulious has to 
play second fiddle to Curly Gottowork); a big boiler with plenty of steaming 
capacity; a wide firebox to overcome the confines of 3½-inch mainframes and 
maximise heat production; a Spartan cab that facilitates access to the 
controls.

I have read the book.  Maisie has to be up there with Doris as a design for 
serious consideration.

Best wishes,

Jem
