Got me some files, and very aching legs.......didn't see you, Alan.  Did
see an old friend, Mike Hanscombe, from Severn Valley/ Crofton Beam
Engines/ Kennet and Avon canal days. He was demonstrating the  miniature
lever frame and signalling/interlocking on the 7-1/4 inch gauge society
stand.

Got the book on LBSC, his Life and Locomotives. It's quite interesting to
see that some of his designs are still being built, 50 years on.

Question: are the techniques he used for his boiler designs and
construction considered OK by today's standards, or is there a pragmatic
approach taken on the basis that  they've never been known to fail?
