Some of the highlights in the current issue...

Read about the fascinating history of the Wandong Live Steamers as they celebrate their 25th anniversary. Looking for a realistic fan to cool your large-scale Diesel locomotive? One of our readers has an answer for you. Another reader built a small 4-cylinder 4-stroke internal combustion engine from plans in a 1947 magazine, he tells of the saga that went with the construction! Tired of all that marking out? See how one of our readers solved that tedious chore very easily.

One of our readers bought himself a rotary table. He worked out how to fit indexing plates to make the rotary table even more versatile and is sharing his story with us. If you ever get a chance to go to an Australian Miniature Traction Engine rally you should make the effort. Have a look at all the fun at Horsham as the engines took over the town! There is an inspiration to try out Gauge 1 as one of our readers has done. He has produced a delightful live steam QR BB181/4. Join the Diamond Valley Railway as they celebrate a week of festivities to mark their 50th anniversary. Ever wanted to build a miniature steam turbine? A reader has sent in a very understandable yet scientific approach to this seemingly difficult subject - it isn’t difficult any more.
