Sorry to hear that Jon, will have a look at the Narrow Gauge RM site, just signing up - I am looking do do some Sn42 (Sn3.5) narrow gauge modelling Wayne

Great little layout, have you made any progress since last posting please?

Hi All, I am looking for a co-co diesel loco in HO/OO that has roughly the following dimensions - centre-centre of axles in each bogie around 23-27mm and total distance between outer axles of whole loco around 153mm - Could I ask anyone who has diesel locos (any country I am only going to use the chassis for a scratchbuilt body) to check their locos to see if any come close please. The plan is to build a Rhodesia Railways DE1 loco in Sn42 (Sn3.5) - many thanks Wayne Rhod Rwys DE1 p01 by Wayne, on Flickr Rhod Rwys DE1 p02 by Wayne, on Flickr

Hi All, are other struggling to find fairy powerspray? I have been all over the local supermarkets and cheap stores and cannot find any? Is there any other similar cleaner that people use to remove paint? Thanks Wayne

Thanks Codger, I am around, just busy with other things like 1/64 custom diecasts and lost a bit of modelling mojo - I have recently done some tidying up on the engine. Wayne

Great build Codger, just read your article on Pocher in the RROC Flying Lady too. Cheers Wayne

Is the original on a lengthened chassis though??

The car is in Germany

Thats them, thanks

Hi All, years ago I had some Aircraft Lettering stencils made in Canada - I cannot recall now who they were - Does anyone recall the company? Alternatively I am after someone who could make up an A5 sheet of decals or a stencil (about 19x16mm) for a project I am working on - Its basically a portrait orientated rectangle with 24 circles on it - Looks like the attached though this has the wrong colours, the red should be black and the holes a lighter colour though I have not yet decided what colour. Thanks Wayne

excellent thanks Sabrejet

Hi All, where might one go to have some photo etch parts made? I need some small rectangular parts, about 19x16mm with 24 holes through it, made some matchbox diecasts I am repainting - They had a decal with this detail but I could not get it off - I decided that a very thin etch would work quite well. Car is the Pininfarina Modulo by Corgi Juniors, the part is the engine cover. Would need to get a drawing done as well. Many thanks Wayne

nice progress, I built a truck or two some years back, quite nice kits

No idea, and I couldnt get a pic of it, looked WWII early post war, sort of like an Anson - Was flying around Pembrokeshire - silver grey with a yellow band on the rear fuselage Wayne

Thanks Propellor & Codger Wayne

Shucks, time for more thread reading, I remember your pushing the body back but need to recall what was involved. Codger, how did you go about making sure the chassis was square? I had mine out on my kitchen counter worktop and twisted it a bit till the four points that hold the brass tensioning rod were sitting flat on the counter. Any other suggestions? Regards Wayne

Been working on the chassis a bit Wayne

brilliant conversion Roy, thanks for showing us - Hope it is progressing well Wayne

e

Head gasket idea thank to you I believe - I will go and have a look through your posts re the linkages, might be an idea to at least try make them though I recall there were really tiny parts, not good for my clumsy hands Wayne

Bit more done, sorted out the wiring to the other spark plugs and started prepping the carburettor and exhaust manifold. Have noted the three branch outlet manifold does not fit the three holes in the engine, will need a bit of hot water I think Wayne

Hi Codger, I certainly hope to continue regular service. Been spending 20min to an hour each night so will see how it progresses Wayne

Bit more progress on the engine Wayne

Hi, a question for the 1/35 figures people, what is out there that may lend itself to the following uniform please (pic below, the one with the trousers and light coloured shirt) - I will need different heads as I need a peaked cap as per the second pic for what I want to do - Oh and I would need them standing at attention with a rifle held in the right hand, butt on the ground - a big ask I know - thanks Wayne

I would not be surprised if plans exist online for some items, I know my brother gets astuff (not model building) off My Mini Factory but there are other sites, have a look around I could ask my brother to trial print some bits if you find plans to work out quality and cost Wayne
