Re: [Half inch live steam forum] Guildford Show

Charles
I have just posted a couple of photos ( Guildford 09) of a genuine LBSC 060
built for a neighbours son in 1962. In the background is a MN chassis belonging
to Des, which he started 20 years ago and got forgotten about, it effect it is a
stretch version of the Ayesha revival
project.
I understand there is some debate over building a rebuilt or original air
smoothed loco.
This forum would be the ideal place to have such discussions over the merits of
one design over another.
