The Home Machinist!

I am curious to know what Bob Holder's son (Bill?) has been able to do with his fathers stuff.
There does not seem to be much activity since these old posts.

How might I reach Bill Holder?

How can I contact Mike Mc Cotter?

Hello Charles, Have you an update to report since Sept 2011? Also I am looking to find more drawings to fill in all the gaps in William Fitt's booklet starting with the steam cylinder / smoke box saddle for example. That booklet is only a tantalizing insight into what might be available somewhere.. ...

Hello out there, I see that this thread has been inactive for quite some time. Has it perhaps been continued under another title? Perhaps someone can give me an update.
