I believe that ME ran some articles on the construction of Martin Edwards' "Firefly" in 3.5 gauge, many years ago. Does anyone know where I can get copies or indeed any reference to making "firefly". Did he (Martin Evans) or anyone else write a book about the construction?

It was in ME Vols 124-127. Best option is to watch e-bay for whole volumes rather than buy individual mags.

I bought a whole volume from the the Toolbox in Colyton for what seemed a fair price at the time – less than a set of plans that were serialised in it..
