crawley it not that far from worthing. i am building a 3" burrell single cylinder 6nhp traction engine, to the H.R plastows design. the front end is virtually complete just needs to be rivited and then painted. the boiler is ready to for some solder, the wheels were purchased for £25 and just need to be rivited up, and i was machining the liner for the cylinder yesterday, which is also nearly complete. and most of it is made at the college expence. and when it is finished it should look something likehttp://www.stationroadsteam.com/arch...ges/2292-a.htm

i also have a 3.5" guage ROB ROY which is nearing completion, and made be buying a part built 3.5" guage GWR tank engine.

the only problem i find now is that i wish i had gone for something a bit larger, as now i do alot with full size engines over at amberley museum. who have a great model weekend around september time.
