The Home Machinist!

The link for:
"Jim Kreider’s Berkshire Memoirs"

Seems to be broken, can anyone provide a working link, I'd like to read how he dealt with the cast bed.

Got a hold of him, thanks everyone!

Thanks, I will try that number.

No phone I can find. 180+ views and no one knows?

Anyone know how to contact him? I've sent several emails over the last couple months with no reply.

Thanks!

I agree with Bill but I think I have what you need, I just need to look thru hundreds(thousands?) of files!

this will make it a bit easier:

Bill,

Nice looking engine, is there a prototype for it?

BTW, to move this back to the original topic, the brothers have located copies of the relevant Model Engineer issues in the UK. I will post more when they are received. Also to add to the mystery, this is from a 1938 Ladies Home Journal: The engines — Mr. Astor keeps a stable of them — were designed...

Well It's 3.5" gauge for sure. Your guess on "scale"

Here are some pictures of the car that was in my friend's house. Note the interesting way of seating, I never saw anything like that before.

David that is an excellent lead and we are following up! I didn't know LBSC lived in the US for a time. Thanks all for the interest.
