learning new skills

Hello Richard,

Well the obvious challenge for you is to build your own IC engines!

That said steam engines are more forgiving of minor errors and might be a good place to develop your skills and tackle a more demanding IC engine as a second or third project.

I used to live in Hoddesdon but moved to Thurrock Essex about 10 years ago. I still come back to have a walk around Hertford And hartham common, Very beautiful place. They do courses in turnford college for model engineering. And you have got glr kennions supplies in roydon.

I did a couple of terms in turnford and it is well worth doing if you want to learn lathe and milling.
