Re: VIRTUAL SCALEFORUM & SCALEFOUR NORTH
Yes well done to the Committee and particularly Danny for making this happen. Thoroughly enjoyable event. It was obvious that a lot of work had gone into this, thank you.

Re: First steps in P4- now on my second loco
I hope you don’t mind me showing my A Class. I did diverge from the instructions several times to suit my own peculiarities! 1 - I couldn’t see how I could fit the recommended motor/gearbox into the boiler without removing part of the boiler bottom. I therefore used a smaller motor and a High Lever ...

Re: Last orders for an etched chassis kit for the Hornby 0-4-0 Peckett.
Hi,
The brass wire was 0.3. Used purely as it was to hand, works fine though.
Cheers

Re: Last orders for an etched chassis kit for the Hornby 0-4-0 Peckett.
Hi,
This is how I did it. The trick is avoiding the pull rods so used thin pcb glued to to the central spacer and then thin brass wire to the tyres avoiding the rods which is easier said than done!

Hi Mark,
Very nice.
Have attached a couple of pictures of the earlier Jones Diagram 9 Sheep van. Not the quickest kit in the world an certainly is a good soldering test.

There are currently 17 or so from the Bristol contingent hitting the Bengal Blue.

Thanks to Terry for the overview of this years `Scaleforum.

Re: Best option for a Terrier
The Hornby Terrier is sort of mixed up A1 and A1X, a bit of both but not accurate for either! The Branchline chassis builds up well. Many years ago I put one under a Hornby WC&P Terrier body and more recently have altered one to go under a Highland Railway Lochgorm tank. There is a etched kit pr...

Hello, No real progress but both engines were given opportunity to stretch their legs on Robin Gay’s Rolvenden Kent & East Sussex layout over the weekend at the Fareham show. There were some weight distribution issues with the Loch which restricted what it could pull. More weight needed over the...

It's been a while but a few more things that were started a while ago have been gradually moving along. Highland Railway Loch Class which will be 127, Loch Garry. Started a few years ago but then stalled whilst I tried to get an American pick up system to work. I have now moved on to wiper pick ups ...

Research mode! Bull and Fairhouse origins are 19th century and was so named in view of a nearby cattle market and a fairground around the corner.. it was for a time an Irish theme pub called O'donohues. Sadly it does appear to be closed although there are nearby alternatives for a decent pint or thr...

Thanks Mark. These coaches certainly have character and the cast ends definitely make it easier although I haven't tried the Lochgorm way...yet!
