This is Brian's own revised article on the building of a simplified Hunslet JACK, a version of which was serialised in Garden Rail Magazine in 2015/16. It will be added to over the coming months (from March 2017) as Brian finds the time to format it.

Please also see "Brian Wilsons 7/8ths Jack Build" by Chris Bird, on this site. Many of the parts fabricated by Brian in this article are available as castings and laser cut parts - go to www.summerlands-chuffer.co.uk and follow the link on the home page.
