After some agonising, I have allowed a link to a site which deals with
LBSCs private life.
I did not allow the covering posting which came with the link.

My reason, (as owner and moderator), is that I do not wish this group
to become a discussion group for anything other than 2 1/2" modelling.
Whilst there is no doubt that LBSC was probabily the greatest
modelengineer of all time and of condsiderable interest to us on this
group, we restrict ourselves to half inch scale business.

I should think most members have an interest in other gauges and other
aspects of modelling and would not discuss these here, but provide a
link in the appropriate section.

I hope my action will be seen as the middle ground and a sensible
approach.
