There have been a couple on mentions over the months of a tool stall on Bury St Edmunds Saturday market selling 'stuff' of interest to model engineers. I finally got round to making a pilgrimage to Bury yesterday to investigate. It's run by a chap called PeterWilson – www.engtool.co.uk – and he had everything from a couple of Myford lathes to boxes of used drills plus odd ends of brass, steel etc. Also his prices seemed aimed at encouraging me to spend money – not an easy task.

The only snag is that he retires at Easter so, if you are thinking of going to see him, don't delay.

(Usual disclaimer. Just a happy customer.)

Bill.

Bill,

Is he there every Saturday, if yes I can see a visit to my Mother and Sister coming up next Saturday.

Martin,

Yes. The rest of the market and Bury itself are well worth a wander round too.

Martin,

If you travel across on the A428 you'll pass within a few hundred yards of me; wave as you go by!
