Incidentally, I am given to understand that many real locos where designed to allow 2 inches dynamic deflection, so our 0.5mm is not just practical but also in line with prototype practice. P4 lives! Thats an interesting figure that I have not seen before. 2" movement of a single protype wheel...

Thanks everyone. In the knowledge that I have probably shortened the nuts too much, and in the absence of any shellac or nail varnish, I've ordered some Loctite 243. Any idea what its useful shelf life is likely to be once it's opened? DT Donkeys years, not like cyano $£%&* stuff which invariab...

PS Their search tool ain't very good!

During each show we maintain a written record of faults and these are then addressed back in the clubroom. It’s important to close things off and test if we are to make sure that the presentation and performance of St Merryn at an exhibition is the best we can deliver. No scope for slackness here! ...

I have found that having done something before is no guarantee of its being easy to repeat. There have been a number of occasions when I have been faced with some constructional problem, and recalled that I had been there before but, even when carefully examining the earlier model, ended up thinkin...

Got rid of all mine years ago. They made a bob or two on the bring and buy, and good riddance I have several of these in running locos, many years on Dc, recently converted to dcc. And a stock like Martin etc. In June an old stock 1219 was installed in a new loco and ran trouble free, no seizure bu...

oh no!
This must presage the end of the world as I know it.

Drat, the anti Martin Goodall filter didn't work.

Well it did this weekend at GWSG Show, as I noticed Martin on Saturday and Tim on Sunday.
Sadly their non-coincidence denied me the delight of watching the duel of the form tools.

Am i on the right path here with this kind of thinking?? No! The spacing required is unlikely to be symmetrical as you suggest. You really must read all the stuff about csbs on the CLAG website as recommended by Dave on Thursday. You will also find some info re 4-4-0s there. There is a spreadsheet ...

But how do you have a ZTC style lever regulator with a phone?
Button pressing is all very well for selecting addresses but unattractiveto me for driving the selected loco.
