Pieter and All,
The three part article in the Herald was by Tom Beresford. ( I made a
quick scan of the article. The best line is, "I then chucked up a peice of
1.5" O.D plastic water pipe in my wife's Unimat...). I think that Frank added
the kit to the LV Models line after the article. When I first met Frank he
still had one kit left, but I could never scrape together money to buy it. I
ended up with a used one that turned itself back into a kit!. Frank used beer
and soda cans to fill a void in the AF boiler. Frank became a RDG modeler in
large part because he could get AF atlantic boilers to kitbash. If anyone
would like a copy of the article, I have all three. Let me know.
