A modern way to set valve gear using DROs or make your own dividing head, or maybe you would like to make some very simple easily removable buffers for your locomotive or rolling stock. We show you how with all these and more... like making spoked wheels without using castings or how to easily and accurately hold round tools in the cross slide on your lathe. We also bring you the final instalment in the BONZA construction series and a heap of detailed photos of an example being built, just to make it easier for you.
Maybe you have a historical bent. We cater for you as well with an article on the heritage listed Iron Bridge, made entirely of cast iron, as well as a story on the construction of a working replica of William Murdoch’s 1792 Flyer, the world’s first road steam vehicle. There is also a full report on the annual AALS convention in Brisbane, probably the best convention we have ever had, and the story of one reader’s success with an electrically powered reciprocating stationary engine, along with the usual line up of interesting articles.
