Sorry its taken a while.
last post Nick asked if it would be possible to make a Heisler on this mech.
Unfortunately the answer is no, having consulted various Railfans. The main problem is the way the model is built frame wise. For that matter I think a Price Cb is about the only thing you could make with it. I have acquired the journal with the collection of Price bush loco plans (possibly the tattiest Journal in existence) and about the only other loco that could possibly be made would be the Ar.
The main problems are that the leading bogie has 2 pickup tags that stick up, and that the chassis is built around the 2 side bars with the motor dropping in between them. The first has to be hidden in side tanks, and the second in a cab rather than a narrow bush loco boiler
I've been doing some more detail work on the Cb tonight, and also having a drive and its a loverly runner.
( I've also been cleaning the Man-sion, but that's not really of much interest to you all out there).

In my defence, the "Worlds Tattiest Journal" is more a reflection on the poor quality of the journal at the time with its lightweight glossy paper and its inability to cope with staples. Anything less than full archive-style handling and they are just "bound" to fall apart (pardon the pun)
