Yesterday I visited Toddington Steam Fair ( Gloucestershire), A truly wonderful day and the weather was perfect, today will be the last time it is held here, a great shame. Although I went out on a vintage Royal Enfield to exhibit it I found myself drawn more to the small traction engines and steam engines than to the wonderful selection of bikes. I suppose it sparked that school boy instinct and re-ignited the old passion I had for steam, as an engineer myself I spent the night pondering over making one and have decided today that it will be my next project, probably after Christmas. What I need to know is where are there any good suppliers of castings, scale drawings, etc etc? Somebody I talked to yesterday mentioned somewhere just of the roundabout on the M42 but he could not remember the company name, not a lot to go on but if you have any ideas or WEB pages I could be directed to I would appreciate it.
