Re: Airfix 48xx with High Level Kits chassis
Does anybody have a suggestion for a decent replacement dome for the 14xx? I haven’t found a suitable one yet. The moulded part on the Airfix body has a very significant taper on it.

Re: Ultrascale now closed to new orders
I’ve placed and received an order in the last week - it’s worth noting that there is a stock items listing on the website these days. I believe it is important to continue to support key suppliers like Ultrascale at this difficult time - my understanding of the situation is not that they are shutdow...

The correct smokebox door can be had from Brassmasters, along with other useful parts for a large prairie.

Re: GWR Steam Railmotor Chassis
Very neatly done - these are especially vulnerable parts on a bow-ended vehicle and will be much more robust as well as functioning and looking better. Fantastic to see further progress on this fascinating design and build!

Re: Wheels for GWR 68xx Grange locos
The Manors had both types - the locomotives built before the War were true renewals of 43xx - they reused the wheelsets and the motion. Other components, up to and including the frame sets/cylinders, were retained where serviceable to extend the life of the remaining 43xx in service. This group of 1...

Re: Suitable flux for soldering steel rail.
I would suspect that there is an acidic residue- I would mechanically remove as much surface corrosion as possible, then apply neutralising solution until the fizzing stops! Any residue can then be rinsed/blotted away and the area dried.

Re: Ultrascale Conversion Proposals
It's a process that seems to be carrying on into the 21st century too, as the new build 47xx, 4709 will have a new 5'8" CBS wheel set. As far as I can tell, the previous nine locomotives were all COS throughout their working lives. (The other three coupled wheelsets, ex-4115, are also CBS) Martin

Re: Non-working Exactoscale couplings CH001B
I think that both hand-rail knobs are drilled rather than threaded- the screw thread passes through, but the unthreaded portion does not. The small brass sleeve passes all the way to the head of the screw, as you see in the photo enclosed. I'm sure you are correct that the wire is supposed to repres...

Re: Non-working Exactoscale couplings CH001B
Thanks for the reference - the working version is somewhat different though to the approximate versions in the parts I have. I searched on some old ebay auctions, but all the lots seemed to have no instructions either!

With only a few weeks to to Railwells, I thought I had better convert another locomotive as a spare for Torre. The selected victim is a Heljan Hymek, to which I decided to add non-working Exactoscale couplings, which I have had in store for a very long time. I seem to have lost the instructions, tho...

Hi Gustav! There were similar locomotives built for English Railway Companies. The closest existing now are the two preserved 0298 Class locomotives, numbers 30585 and 30587. These are well tank locomotives, and have been rebuilt many times. There is a kit available for these locomotives from Falcon...

The Airfix autocoach is very close to the A30 diagram, with only the location of the battery boxes and vacuum cylinders on the underframe being markedly wrong. The A28 has flush doors and more significantly from the point of view of your question, 7'0" bogies rather than the 9'0" of the A3...
