Paul,

Hi Bill,

That would be incredibly helpful if you could. Let me know if you have any difficulty attaching them here, or emailing them.

Thanks

I have the scans ready. They are rather large files. Could you pm me with an email address please.

There are Kenneth Werrett drawings of 5-plank OPEN B 92008 and 7-plank OPEN A 29304 in the Model Railway News for February and March 1966 respectively. Both drawings have dimensions of the sheet supporter mechanism. I could scan these for you if that will help.

For small parts which don't warrant getting the bending bars out a steel rule can be clamped in the hold and fold. This ensures the rule will not move and keeps both hands free for the bending. I'm another who picked up the use of a triangular file from Dan Pinnock's instructions. This works very we...

There is a review of sorts here: https://platform1mrc.com/p1mrc/index.php?threads/resistance-solder-units-from-frost-restorers-equipment.3346/ The thread ends with no evidence that the buyer actually used it. I have an LRM unit. In my experience it is a quality bit of kit, aimed squarely at railway ...

This YouTube video shows hedges being laid back in the day:

I had not realised how neat and tidy some hedges were kept then. I guess cheap labour helped.

I've just had a look on Ebay and it seems £14.95, or thereabouts, is the price of a die set only. Press plus dies is in the range £60 to £70. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Green-Machine-Rivet-Press-KAM-Snaps-Size-16-20-22-Press-Stud-Die-Tool-/112224682483?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10&...

Mike Trice has posted some pictures of his GNR Dia 303 Full Brake which might help to answer your question about lettering:

Wood blocks were used between the tram rails in Holland and were dug up to be burnt as fuel during the Dutch famine of 1945. See the section headed 'Food' at https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2people ... 6074.shtml.

To get é press Num Lock on the numeric keypad, press and hold down the Alt key, type the code 130 using the keys on the numeric keypad, release the Alt key. Voila! Don't forget to cancel Num Lock when you have finished. There are codes for lots of useful characters such as ½ and ± : https://tools.or...

The Masokits bearing depth jig is on the 7.02 RCH Sprung W-Irons fret. According to the instructions it is also on 7.03 BR Standard Sprung W-Irons and 7.04 BR Plate Sprung W-Irons but I don't have examples of those to check.

The gauges just sold on eBay for £36 plus £3.48 postage. There may be some pent up demand for these (hint).

I have purchased A4 sheets from this seller and had good service:

Slater's open wagons, PO and MR, are already available from Powsides at decidedly sub-Ebay prices. They are tucked away under the heading 4mm scale undecorated kits on the website. I've bought some and the service from Powsides was very good. http://www.powsides.co.uk/www.powsides.co.uk/info.php?p=9...

I used the form on the 'contact us' page of the Kemilway website. I got a phone call about an hour later and was then sent a Paypal invoice which I paid. All done in one day.

I find this index published by the Welsh Railways Research Circle very useful. You can search (Ctrl F) by owner's name or location to find the relevant volume of Hudson, Turton etc. Helps you buy only the books you need. The index covers the whole country and is not limited to Wales. http://www.wrrc...
