On Monday after leaving Bury St Edmonds we headed off to Sudbury where John had to pick up some connectors from an engineer (Terry) who makes steam gear for steam powered model Traction engines and Railway Loco’s. Of course John and I had to have a look through his workshop which was jammed pack with Industrial lathe’s, drills and presses. One huge machine was picked from a scrap metal merchant very cheaply. With a clean up, oil in the gearbox and a new electric motor it’s now back in working order. Terry had 3 traction engines about a Quarter scale size and 3 x 5 inch scale loco’s. Unfortunately nothing was in steam as Terry was getting them ready for the forthcoming rally season.
