PhilEakins Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Well up to standard with some extremely useful practical tips/instructions. I particularly liked the photo article on annealing (which I have always thought a bit of a black (or is that 'dark straw') art) and the 'Ideas about small spanners' contains a couple of 'Ahhh' moments as the penny drops. And, I have found that a friend is mentioned by Don Neale on the genesis of his garden railway. Well worth the subs. Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
