Blinking Flip :-O :-O :-O

That is good!!!! (not too sure of the aerodynamics though, with all those bolts sticking out :dunno: ).

The power controller in the photo looks identical to one I had as a kid, for my Hornby Trainset (Sorry :$, I meant Model Railway).
Also of note, is mention of the 'Issigonis shield'. Is this named after the great 'Mini' maestro himself?

Regards
