Re: Compensating slaters NE hoppers help
Sorry, a bit late to the party on this one. The detailing etch that Dave refers to is mine but it does not include operational W-irons. It does includes the external W-irons that some of the NER hoppers used (although I think most or all were subsequently removed) but these do not fulfil a function ...

Re: Carriage ride height and springing
Hi David, What gauge of wire did you use on your primary (axlebox springs). They are designed to take (or rather I use) 9 gauge but in practise as different weights of coach give rise to different compressions, you do have a choice. The wires can also get bent slightly as they are soldered in place,...

Re: Assistance with Bill Bedford 6-Wheel Coach Bogies Please
On another point you need to work out how to mount a six wheeled bogie as the pivot position is below the central axle. You need a shallow bolt and thin nut.

Re: Assistance with Bill Bedford 6-Wheel Coach Bogies Please
Hi John I have suffered the same problem on both the Bill Bedford 4 and 6 wheeled bogies. I solved it by soldering the guitar wire to the prongs as per your query. It is essential to get them in the right place as otherwise the carriers bind in the hornguides. I smear a little vasoline on the later ...

Hi Neil I suspect that the coaches on Southwark Bridge have actually been glazed with microscope cover strips but I will let others that know this to confirm.

Re: Glazing - your thoughts please
Hi David, I use the glazing material from Wizard Models which is moderately thick, circa 0.8mm I would say without actually measuring it. I secure it with PVA and as David says, I lay the coach on its side for a little to allow the glue to properly tack. If there is any stray glue on the glazing mat...

Re: Brassmasters Blk5 45232
They do look rather fine Dave.
Given that they are not supposed to be glamorous engines, I do think the Black 5s were very tidy engines.
Is the coal load on your painted black 5 out of gauge? Best take my barrow to the first tight bridge it goes under!

Re: Airfix 48xx with High Level Kits chassis
wouldn't cellulose disolve the plastic in this instant? If you dropped the model in a vat of cellulose thinners for a period, it may well do damage but for delivery via an airbrush the solvent will disappear in a fraction. Indeed, one of the issues of cellulose paint (and the main cause of the oran...
