Fabulous!
Both the real thing & the drawing!
Thank you for sharing.

Really looking forward to seeing Minories at the Epsom show this weekend!

Well done Jeremy! Another milestone. Please put me done for one, I will email you as I need a few extra bits and pieces, and at long last I am in process of moving in to our new permanent home, but at the moment am surrounded by removal boxes that need unpacking, but before need some re-wiring, the...

Having got the CAD design with handles, would it not be a simple matter to then produce a version without handles?

Admirable excuse for a new loco kit!

HI David,
Thanks for posting your progress with the motor bogie. I am learning something new each post, and they make a useful complement to Jeremy's instructions.
Steve

Please do not stop the "endowment" process!
I for one am really enjoying your postings.

Hi David,
What method did you use for pressing out the rivets in the sideframe?

Jeremy, you've made it look so easy compared with the Mallard body!
Is there a slight tumblehome, and if so how did you form it?
Looking forward to your roof solution...
Steve
ps Happy New Year

Your fish bellies are looking good! Although I have made a start on the motor bogie, I have spent afternoon packing all my WIP modelling away prior to a couple of house moves! A to B to C, as C is not ready yet! Which means I will have to be content with just reading about modelling for a while :( ....

I believe it is also recommended to calibrate the printer using >; output > calibrate printer.

Hear, hear!
And thanks for the photo of the handrail jig tip.

I thought it looked a bit long. 4mm makes all the difference!
As far as the motor bogie is concerned any idea what radius curves the P4 version can cope with now?

Good to see another outing for your chassis Jeremy! I enjoyed the valve gear motion especially at the slower speeds.
Is that an 8' or a 9' trailing bogie?

Welcome back, and thank you. I've just spent some pleasurable time reading a couple of your Hessle Haven topic on RMWeb, and discovered the wealth of historical photos and also useful contributions from a retired signalman. Are you planning on building a 95 lever frame using the societies mk 2 kit? ...

I see what you mean about the planking, now that you have brought it to our attention, it is hard to overcome the feeling of some weird sort of negative perspective a la Martin Escher! Are the planks scribed both sides of one sheet, or are there two single sided sheets laminated? As far as the under...

Hi TIm,
You might find this post interesting as I am sure you will eventually want to add more coaches to your Monsal Dale empire:-

Hi Tim, There are a couple of tutorials http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/79025-a-guide-to-using-the-silhouette-cameo-cutter/?p=1239585 A tutorial on Inkscape but shows what can be produced http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/80563-introduction-to-using-inkscape-to-prod...

Hi Tim, What sort of diameter tube are you looking for? Along the lines of your propelling pencil idea, have you considered Uni Pin file liner pens as they seem to have a steel tube and are available in a number sizes? 2nd suggestion is to consider using a Silhouette portrait cutter, for example see...

How about Hobby Holidays 1/32" equal angle, which is 0.32" , approx. 0.8128mm See http://www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=SSA1 T section 1/32"... http://www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=SST1 1/32" is 0.79375 mm Steve

Jeremy, Thanks for the time you spent chatting at Scaleforum. It was good to see your video of the railmotor circulating on the test track. I can report that I have made four steps forward:- The Katsu mini pillar drill arrived last week and appears to be good value for the money. 1) I can now drill ...

Under Rodding it states "It is the correct size to accurately represent 4mm scale point rodding." Under Rodding cranks it states "We have made the cranks as small as possible but please note that they are slightly over-scale - this was necessary as most users of this point rodding wil...

Hi Jeremy, thanks for a glimpse of the railmotor birthplace, a fascinating insight into the range of tools available to you...
