I have always had a fascination with how things work. I spent a fair bit of my youth taking things apart to see whats inside. Pouring over cutaway drawings and lusting after sectioned engines lurking at the back of my 

science classroom. Now many years later decided it was time to get my own.

After keeping my eye out for a while

found this old 3 speed sliding mesh gearbox on Ebay and couldn't resist.
