Well there's always the Minipool, AKA The Static Testing Tank. This has the advantage of being able to be used indoors. Not a bad thing in February.
It also means you can see what is going on underwater
It just hasn't got a very long run. |

| The tank measures 1060x170mm (that's 41 3/4 X 6 3/4 in English). How big is a BL Streamlinier (sic)? |

Be brave James, we'll have a bigger pool at STIA. Suggest you keep a lookout for some of those chemical handwarmers.

It isnt size, its quantity. The question is, How Many Should I get?  _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

This has been the problem throughout my steam collecting.
Just another one would complement those I have already so well.
Can a collection ever be complete?  _________________ Chuff chuff!! |
