Hi everyone I've just joined, and I'm looking for some advice. I'm currently building a 5" Pansy, but I quite fancy making its little sister Pansyette. Three...
Hi Matt, Welcome to the forum! The Association do list a photocopy of the 'articles' for Pansyette but I think they will just be copies of the ME articles that...
Many thanks John LBSC gives the Pansyette cylinder block a width of 1-15/16", which coupled with a couple of frames at 3/32" provides a reassuring 2-1/8". (If...
... Oooh, careful - assuming you're leaving the back to back wheel dimension the same, then all of the extra width of the frames needs to be accomodated...

How right you are - there was me forgetting I need two frame plates!...
I'm attempting to build a Dyak Boiler, but have run into problems with the dimensions on the Kennion's drawing. The smoke box is shown as 3 1/4" OD and it...
Hi Graham, The construction notes on the Dyak boiler are pretty vague as LBSC refers back to the boiler for Annie Boddie all the time. The boiler barrel is...
Thanks John. 3-1/4" minus 1/8" for the wrapper gives 3-1/8" for the width of the throatplate. Making a 3-1/16" hole in this would leave the flanges only 1/32"...
Having recently lost my collection of Model Engineers in a plumbing leak (whimper), I'm looking for a copy of the May 1934 ME. Has any one got one, or could...

Simon, Which part of the series are you looking for? May 10th, May 24th, or both? My copies are bound but I should be able to scan any that you need. John...
Both please, if you can. There is further discussion in an issue from Oct 1941, which refers back to the original article. I've got the 1941 part, but not...

Hi Simon, It's actually a four part article that deals with portable engines in general. Part 3 deals (very briefly) with the design for the portable engine...
hallo David sorry i haven't seen it ... a little to far away, do you have any pictures, i am half way through a build at the moment 2.5 gauge merchant navy...
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...
hallo David that's a interesting little 0-6-0 you have ... with the familiar lines of a bullied behind ... my bullied is slightly stretched to make room for...
... Hi Charles, Nice work there. You're really cracking on with it! Keep posting pics as you progress. I prefer the rebuilts myself. Much nicer loco IMHO. I'm...
hallo john thanks for that yes the rebuilt is a quite a nice looking engine and requires a whole new approach / method of fabrication ... basically i think...
I should have checked out the 0-6-0, I suspect its a single cylinder of the 6yo 4F type. On the subject of electric locos what method orf yearing would be...
Hi, I was wondering how to attach them to a boiler without drilling & threading holes in the copper. The reason for this, is with 'LBSC's designs he always has...
LBSC's intention was that the handrail stanchions would be screwed directly into the boiler shell with a bit of plumbers jointing etc. to seal them. It isn't...
hallo Pontiac reference to the rust bucket ... sorry it wasent mine i found it on uk e-bay some time ago it went for a silly amount of money and was in a...
Hi All, I found this group through a web search. I'm in Model Engineering and Live in the Blue Mountains area in Australia. I have a 3 1/2" LBSC Maisie on the...
Hi Peter, Welcome to the forum! I've had a quick look at the Maisie articles in ME. The ports are 3/32" wide and the lap of the valve is 3/32" so the actual...
I wrote this note once before, but for some reason, it wouldn't post it properly. I would love to have any information that I could get on Annie Boddie and...
... I would love to be able to get any information available about Annie Boddie, or the Hollywood Annie version. I would love to build one someday. I...
