    I remember that photo out of the Doxford thread... Noble and Lund seemed to specialise in larger equipment...

    I recall reading some of the larger planers had table sizes and hence travel of 60 feet or more...
    Still some pretty large plano mills around, which are just essentially planers fitted with milling heads and table feeds more suited to milling.... The biggest would no doubt be moving columns and fixed tables..
    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

    That is where it came from RC, I was having a trip down memory lane having sailed on mainly Doxford powered ships...way back.

    probably only if your back shed is the size of a Bunnings Warehouse. If bigger is better, then that would be pretty good.
    I love those old photos, and have recently visited the Titanic Precinct in Belfast. There were lots of great photos there.
