'A DREAM COME TRUE' and ' LITTLE SAMSON II'

David Kearley, a 3" scale Little Samson builder and now a 6" scale builder, has published 'A dream Comes True' which records in pictures and text the construction of his 3" model and now 'Little Samson II' a guide to building the engine in 6" scale.

The 3" scale engine is covered in an excellent pair of A5 soft covered books, each with over 80 pages packed with useful information, hints and tips. The books offer outstanding value at just £6 each including postage and packing. The 6" book is an A4 folio style puiblication and also highly recommended. Both available direct from the author (who accepts pay pal & cards) http://www.ddmetalproducts.co.uk or email David Kearley on enquiries@ddmetalproducts.co.uk
