The rear-engined Cubs were born out of their time. The concept was much the same as for the Dennis Dart that followed fifty years later: small compact bus, rear-engined with one person operation capability. They were in a strong line of bus development...

A very simple governor based on the Magic Motor governor. As the speed increases the weight starts to contact with the boiler end creating friction and therefore limiting the speed of rotation. This is not how a steam engine governor works - this limit...

A sports car based closely on model 4.15 in the 1962 manual, powered by a Magic Motor driving the front axle. Tin-plate road wheels are used with the idea of reducing friction on a wooden floor!

This is model 4.17 from the late 1930s no. 4 set. A few modifications have been made, most noticeably to the hull where I have replaced the gold strips with blue plates. The stern has also been given a more solid feel.

This is one of the new model kits - the large orange one, 902400A. A nice model, with well finished parts and nicely presented in a tin, with a plastic insert dividing it into two compartments.
