- I remember, and knew Gerry Penrose. I lived in Canada in the 1970's and use to go to his basement shop in Oakville, Ontario to buy steam engine castings...he really was quite a guy, can't comment on his writing as I was not into 3/4 scale locomotives.
- Did you know he was very mechanically minded and went with the University ( of Ontario , I think) as a technician on a scientific exploration trip to the North Pole (early 1970 ?)....He kept the snowmobiles running under extreme duress as you can imagine...he was very resourceful man.
- Interesting comment you made. He told me he had a battle going on with Model Engineer at the time, but I didn't understand the real issues.
