I know Vic Smeed did some drawings for a simple TID of around 20 inches, called Tiddler. I also believe this was the drawings duplex did their tid kit from. Don't recall an article in MB though, Sorry I haven't got a copy of the plans though,
cheers Glenn

I have the Book By Glynn Guest and there are 2 In there

The Knocker White  ( See Picture )
 or the Arcady based on those used by the American Leigh Valley Railroad..

Both about 14" Long

Hi Crew member,
 I have two different sets of plans of the TID. The Tiddler is with Radio Control Boat Modeller/ April 1989 This is a good basic TID plans which will be a 20 inch tug. The other plans are more detailed and I have scaled up to build the TID on my thread. You are welcome to a copy of either.
