Hi Geoff,
Please excuse the blantant advertising, but I have a mini-lathes and milling
machines for sale - brand new and good prices. The milling machines I've
sold to one or two members of G1MRA (Gauge 1.......................) and all
very experienced model makers and engineers - they seemd quite pleased!
At the moment I have some on eBay where you can see the specs. and I sell
privately too.
http://tinyurl.com/zco3z for the lathe, and
http://tinyurl.com/jczbf for the milling machine.
As you will see, I'm open to offers!

Whilst not Geoff.
A 4" gauge Little Sampson hardly rates at gauge 1 and if he's
thinking along the correct lines of a BH900 and Bridgeport then these
benchtop's are a tad too small.
