Who are these strange fellows?

My photo
Manbench Industries; Purveyors of general mayhem since 1994, a blog to follow the crazed, possibly deranged projects and emotive musings, of an undergraduate engineer, and an apprentice organ builder who have always felt they were born in the wrong age. Follow us as we, re-write history, learn lost skills, discover strange new worlds, break things, rant at things, mend things, make new things and generally find ways of passing the day instead of doing "proper work" !

1 1/2" Scale Allchin 'Royal Chester'

Recently I picked up a substantially complete model of Royal Chester built to the famous W.J. Hughes design in 1 1/2" scale. To date most of the work has been completed - still needing completion are the engine components, boiler fittings, steering and various other miscellaneous tasks.

A set of drawings has been bought down with me to university, and the W.J. Hughes book has been ordered and I plan to be ready to commence work over the summer holiday period.


The Engineer.
