Just published and available from Club Spares is Ray Newell's new book about the Traveller, this contains four chapters on the timber. All the parts catalogues have diagrams showing the timber sections. Also see Minor Matters earlier this this year. If you have only just joined then contact the Derby office and ask for a back copy.

Make sure all the steel is good before worrying about the timber......

Errr NO! I wasn't allowed to do woodwork at skool - had to do Latin instead....... Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere....
