[SEL] Build a Gardner 4T5 at the Anson Engine Museum

[Rupert Wenig]

Hello Arnie,
	Thanks for the tip. I just spent a few hours browsing that link and 
links to other sites. I and four friends are planning a trip to England 
to attend the Dorcet Fair. Any other hints will be appreciated. We will 
be in England from Aug. 23 to Sept 22nd.
