Hi I am doing some research into suitable rail for representing NG track in the smaller weights which equate to code # ranges 40-100. I have good details on...
I was returning south from Leeds this afternoon, on the M1, near Sheffield going north, was a lowloader with a FR 0-4-0ST complete with tender - full paintjob...
... Sheffield going north, was a lowloader with a FR 0-4-0ST complete with tender - full paintjob looked splendid (it was not protected with a tarp or...
I've started work on my K1 garratt again, after a break for other modelling needs. I've sorted out the problems with the crank mounting system, by doing away...

David, I am impressed and filled with enthusiasm - although I don't think I will be getting around to my kit for a while (She who must be obeyed would like me ...
Dave, Any chance of some detailed photographs of the modifications you've made being provided to the Editor of NL for a permanent record of this alteration ? I...
Dave Paul Martin of EDM models is casting the cylinder covers. When I saw him at Shepton he implied this was going to be done soon. You should chase him...

Hi John, Yes, the screw slot is there to be seen, but will be mostly hidden on the finished model, behind the motion. Dave. --On 09 March 2005 13:46 +0000 John...

I have used 'Plastercene' (don't think I have spelled it correctly) in the past to fill Romford screw slots which can be carefully overpainted with enamel...
Hmm, I've wondered about using Blu-Tac, but I'm not sure how easy it is to smooth out. It sounds like it would be much easier to leave the slot visible! ...
Dave Having seen your photos I like the approach. Having a deeper countersink I imagine it would be possible to cover the screws with a small metal (or even...
John, Or you could use a small disc of sticky paper, cut from an address, label using a leather-punch. Dave. On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 20:31:08 -0000 John...
