![]() 389 forum posts 11 photos | Yes, well done, Tony and thanks for sharing. I was intrigued by your spelling of Tubal Caine (with an extra "e" ). Tom Walshaw apparently had a letter published in ME in his early days, perhaps even pre-war; it was signed "Tubal Caine", it being then a very common practice to use a pen name. Whether or not it was an Editorial typo I don't know, but LBSC picked up on it in one of his weekly outbursts, bestowing on him the soubriquet "Bro. Tail-Lamp" for the extra "e"... All Tom's later articles and books are by "Tubal Cain". Edited By Nigel Bennett on 15/01/2021 20:20:40 |

722 forum posts 23 photos | Tom Walshaw aka Tubal Cain & mrpete aka Tubalcain. One with a space and one without. Wiki shows spelling as :- "Tubal-cain or Tubalcain is a person mentioned in the Bible, in Genesis 4:22," I suppose we will never know the original spelling. BTW some great models you have there Tony. regards Edited By Oldiron on 16/01/2021 10:57:22 |

Or is it just he is not bright enough to be Bro. Head Lamp? Sounds like model engineering was such a friendly place full of cheerful old gits long before t'internet.

![]() 389 forum posts 11 photos | “Bro. Tail Lamp” was just LBSC whimsy for the extra e on the end, like a tail lamp on the end of a train... He could be pretty cruel sometimes, especially making snide remarks about Henry Greenly or KN Harris, but he was very generous to those who agreed with everything he said! Despite his faults he did more than anyone to promote small locomotive building. We all need oddballs like him to make life interesting... who else do you know who would extract their own teeth because his dentist had retired? |
