2022年2月22日 · I purchased a book called Simple Model Locomotive Building Introducing LBSC's TICH by Martin Evans. This book is just a compilation of the various Model Engineer articles that were published back in 1949!

A 3 1/2 inch gauge small-boiler Tich, the original incarnation of LBSC's popular beginner's locomotive. Whilst engines deemed suitable for a beginner to learn to drive with have got bigger over the years, there's still nothing nicer looking to put on your bookshelf than one of these!

Tich was LBSC’s effort to design a beginners locomotive in 3.5” gauge that could be driven on a track. There has been controversy ever since about what the best way to achieve that, but certainly Tich has had plenty of builders, and in larger gauges, too.

Tich is an 0-4-0 Tank locomotive designed by LBSC to resemble a Contractors engine based on an original drawing by Leslie Clarke. It is available in both large and small round-top boiler variants as well as the version that LBSC built for himself, a 'large' Belpaire boiler version.

2020年4月15日 · Little tank engine designed by LBSC in model engineer magazine years ago. Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. Nice engine, should be a fun project! I have a few bits of a Tich lurking in the rafters, another ebay purchase.

An LBSC design based on Contractors Enginer. The World's largest stockist of model engineering supplies. Supplier of castings and drawings for over 170 different models. Over 10,000 items stocked.

The classic start project, LBSC's "Tich" - large quantity of unmachined castings, erected frames, most of a flanged boiler kit, set of drawings and a hardback copy of the construction manual (which I think everybody should read, whether or not they want to make the engine).

2023年2月10日 · LBSC describes the construction of his famous TICH for 31/2in. gauge. Previous ed. by Martin Evans published 1968. Added OCLC numbers. Added goodreads ID.

Here we have a particularly fine piece of model engineering in this 3 1/2" gauge example of LBSC's small boilered 'Tich'. This really is a cracking model, built by the late Alan Jacobs and dripping with delicacy and finesse.
