I recently purchased this locomotive at auction from the estate of Peter Barney, a well known Maine Two Foot author and modeller.??
I understand that the kit version of this loco became what is now the Slater's kit with a modified motor and drive system with Slater's wheels
Does anyone know the history of the earlier L&B loco and who was behind it?? From correspondence with Roy Link I know he partnered at one time with Alan Gibson to produce a limited run of 50 L&B kits that featured milled frames, sprung axles and portescap motors and Alan Gibson wheels and that a second version of locos came later from Alan without all those features.??
Was there a third maker of Lynton & Barnstaple 7mm kits?
