  1. Suffer from Dyslexia or Typoglycemia? "Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe." from; https://www.dictionary.com/e/typoglycemia/
  2. That's a serious lump of lead, but if the Loco's goig to pull anywhere a near prototypical load it's needed. One tip to aid machine threaded bolts to self tap is to cut two slots along the shaft - just like proper taps. Only time I've had to secure weight in the boiler was on a J11 purchased off the bay. weight was loose in the boiler and could not be extracted. No problem I thought flood some thin Superglue in to stop it moving. next thing my thighs burning. hadn't noticed the hole under the smokebox or the dripping glue. a little higher & a bit to the left - doesn't bear thinking about.
  3. Slightly O/T but interested to hear what else was included in the bundle - Have bonus beer tokens to spend.
  4. Sign in a pub window in Buxton: FREE BEER FREE FOOD TOPLESS WAITRESSES FALSE ADVERTISING
  5. creditable 15, first 13 were fine - gueses froim there on in.
  6. For a paint brush it's probably not worth the effort. For fingers it's a different matter.
  7. Arguably 9-11. With almost 3000 fatalities. Failure to act on intellegence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_intelligence_before_the_attacks Lack of security for US domestic flights. Ease of access to flight decks.

    Make your mind up before you get in the chair.
  9. That is very probable. I recall being surprised when I found out that .303 was a size still in use during the 80's & 90's for proof testing of armour plate.
  10. A very quick image search using Duck Duck Go throws up the operators Manual with side views along with drawing of similar units. manual search
  11. Try placing the decal in a sunny place - as reported on here many times - it reverses the yellowing process. Also prevents breach of copyright.
  12. You seem to be sorted but for the record Krystal clear would NOT be suitable to produce this style of marker lights. Being a PVA type liquid it shrinks as it sets, this is fine for windows* where there is all around support. For wing tip marker lights, where there in no all around support, the best that could be achieved is a blob which, due to its nature could not be worked into shape or polished to the required clarity. * Aside from the meniscus at the edges Krystal clear will only produce flat windows.
  13. Depend on the desired outcome. If you just want to get rid of the wheel well do as Mike suggests and hack away at the part with mini-power tools, finessing the finsh until you can fit any replacement. If you want to transplant the part and need to keep the fuselage the scribing method, whilst laborious, is best. If you want to transplant the part and are not worred about the fuselage then hack around the part with said power tools, modelling knife or saw, leavng a margin that can be removed & finnessed once the part is free and more managable.
  14. That's something we're all aware of. Has been done on Rails first e-mail & not received any more even though they are notorous for sending several per week. I'm also aware that you can ask for a copy of all data held by a company about you so that you have an opportunity to have it corrected and that it is possible to ask/tell a company to 'forget' you digitally however, being awre of how databases work, the latter probably only adds a marker to exclude your record from certain quries of the information.
