Because of the significant interest in this series we have compiled it into this single document. It includes a detailed design for a driving/passenger trolley with hand and footbrakes and many other refinements.
Please note no corrections have been made to the original articles, and that there may be changes in materials or best practice in the quarter century since this article was prepared.

Many thanks to forum member 'Lofty' who prepared the scans.
Hi,
I'm the editor of Model Engineer & Workshop magazine and before that the editor of MEW from 2014, also one of the website admins.
I'm a model engineer, and in the past I have written for ME and MEW, but I won't claim any great stock of expertise, just plenty of enthusiasm. Before becoming editor, I used to post on this forum as Stub Mandrel (and may occasionally still do so).
If you would like to find out more about me, my personal website is <a href="http://www.stubmandrel.co.uk/">www.stubmandrel.co.uk/</a> and I have an author page on Amazon at <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neil-M-Wyatt/e/B01FK687I0/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0">amazon.co.uk/Neil-M-Wyatt/</a>
Feel free to send me a 'pm' (message member) but these are a bit slow and clumsy, so if you would like to get in touch with me by email use <a href="mailto:meweditor@mortons.co.uk">meweditor@mortons.co.uk</a>
I'm always glad to hear your views on the magazine, and particularly keen to encourage new contributors to 'have a go', so let me know if you have any ideas for articles.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Neil
