There are!

Reminds me that JLTRL models took over the MM range. A certain person rang a number, spoke to Pete Waterman - who very kindly let him have copies of the 7mm instructions. People in the music industry have been known to pretend to be interested in models - but get the phone put down when their real i...

I have a set from the Churchward/Modelex 44/45xx, but the page numbers seem to be different.

Well, Aylesbury had a problem with parking for the school run - couldn't get in till near 4pm.

I've used copper wire in the past. Removing the wheels isn't done that often.

And don't forget that those who build fixed wheelsets don't have the option to remove them!

You 'may' find this document of some use ...

Yes I am restricted to what is submitted. However, I think that all branches of model making hobbies have something to contribute (not exclusively railways as well). An article on American scenery approaches would be very welcome. I read Model Railroader when I can get my hands on it, some of the Ka...

Basis for an article there Bernie!

Sunny here!

Cue for a song

The answer is blowing in the wind

I see it's about to rain in Aylesbury, sunny here!

I can't see yours ...

Best catering I've had at Scaleforum!

And I can sit down when I want ...

One thing about this show is - no complaints about the dreadful accessibility of the venue, lack of parking, distance from public transport.

Oh, and my feet aren't tired yet!

And ready for questions/comments.

Anyone remember 'Wagon Train'?

The editor will (broadband permitting) be around during the day.

Usefulness for 4mm stuff ? Fine for turning wheels (carefully), decorative stuff like chimneys/domes/whistles. Small bits and pieces. Probably too small for making larger tools - could be done, but will take ages. - Nigel There are no end of things that can be done, add split axles, precision milli...

The 'live' Scaleforum at Aylesbury was plagued by dreadful acoustics and unintelligible tannoy announcements (glad to get rid of those).

Any music will be better than the real thing, and as Danny points out, you can always turn the volume down (can't do that in live events ...).

Code 55 is massively heavy for NG work. Referring to D A Boreham's work 'Narrow gauge railway modelling' he quotes the Southwold Railway rail section. 3" high, 3" across the lower foot, the running head of 1⅝" wide with a weight of 30lb per yard. Unless you're building current Welsh H...

The 2mm Association rail is too thin (across the head) for narrow gauge.

You could look for PECO code 40 rail which gives a much better section for narrow gauge rail.

Sorry Paul, I'm away from Thursday, otherwise I'd have been around.

I used whatever hooks I could lay my paws on, but links I made using the method in 'The 4mm Coal wagon' by John Hayes (WSP).
