Helmut Heitzinger makes the main elements of his Musgrave compound engine, including the cylinder housings and their support columns. Richard Williams presses a standard plumbing fitting into service to make an improved regulator for his 5 inch gauge ‘Black 5’ locomotive. David Hartland explains the story of the Taunton club’s 70 year search for a suitable site. Martin Robinson builds a 7¼ inch gauge Diesel electric locomotive intended primarily for passenger hauling. Hotspur makes the safety valve bonnet for his 5 inch gauge Beattie well tank, Wenford. Richard Brown builds a model of a medieval bombard based on the original in the Lisbon Military Museum. Robert Hobbs describes how he approached the sheet metal work required for the tender of his 2½ inch gauge GWR ‘County’ locomotive.
