The Mastiff Plus is a new construction series by Mick Knights whose writing style is always popular with readers. Here he persuades us to be a little less wary of CNC and to embrace its usefulness in the home workshop. He does not discard the traditional ways, though, always suggesting an alternative method. Roger Backhouse writes about the Bude Canal, it's unusual concept, history and demise and in our locomotive building series by LBSC the author starts to look at fitting cleading to the boiler. Peter Targett challenges the grey matter as he describes his method of using DROs to map the network of drilled holes in a set of locomotive frames and Stewart Hart looks at everyone's favourite part to make – the flywheel of the vertical mill engine.
