Another journal hunt

Recently I've been doing some more thinking about bush tramways and the locos that ran on them. This time round I'm interested in the December 1986 Journal. From the October 86 journal a list of things to come includes

- A bush tramway track plan, no idea of what but possibly Bob Stotts layout.
- More bush tram modeling
- More bush tram history.

What Im interest in if there are any more loco plans. I have a very basic plan for a Johnston 0-4-0, but I'm wondering if theres anything better out there.

Could you use the same mechanism as you used in your rail-truck? Power the rear bogie and use unpowered wheels under the loco.

not much joy in the Dec issue. Several pages dedicated to Merv Smith layout and a question time which was very interesting. No Loco plans or layout plans either. Hon3 article and Davidson 1 page article which I will scan and send at some stage.

Thanks Beaka, but don't worry too much. I remember the Merv Smith issue and was pretty sure I couldn't remember anything bush trammy in it.
As for powering it I don't think I could use any ofthe bogie mechanisms astheyjust wouldn't look right. I do however have a cunning plan.....
