From self-consistent photoionisation modelling of 147 Magellanic Cloud PN, we have constructed the H-R Diagram for the central stars, and have derived both the chemical abundances and the nebular parameters. We find that the central stars have core masses generally between 0.55 and 0.7 M, and find strong evidence to support the model that they leave the AGB as helium-burning stars following the final shell flash. Type I PN have more massive cores, up to near the Schwartzschild limit, and show clear evidence for the Third dredge-up episode. From HST images, younger PN are very compact. The expansion velocity of the nebula is closely correlated with the position of the central star on the H-R Diagram.
