	Terry Pettitt "Dennis Loline Double-Decker"
	Terry's Coach Chassis is a work of art, everything is so compact. Have you seen universal joints on a coach prop shaft, made from slide pieces and a collar? Then look at this Coach Chassis. The Prototype of this Chassis is a "Bristol Lodekka", which was also made under licence as the "Dennis Loline" The finished Model
	Two additional photos made by Terry Pettitt showing more details of the Coach Chassis.

	Alan Partridge Orrery - optical illusion - torque amplifier - Tatra differential
	A rebuild of John Nuttall's Orrery running continuously troughout the three days. A very interesting optical illusion, where six inch plastic axles were boltet between a pair of face plates at an angle, when rotated at high speed these axles looked curved. Also on show, a demonstration torque amplifier and a colour mixer. This proved an attraction to the youngsters. The interesting demo model being the modified Tatra differential for off road vehicles. A lot of thought had gone into designing and building this model, which, when seen, looked so simple.
