I should be printing stuff for the SSMRS stand at Railex but I have been distracted again. Broken window pillar was ham fisted me getting the supports of. Never mind, it was only a quick trial print. SLNCR Railcar B if you were wondering..... The test print, from a Recreation 21 file, has done it's job. Looks nothing like the real thing so I won't bother with the 18 hour print for the rest of it. 😞 -

It may be worth trying the old-fashioned route and writing to Alan by post. His address is listed on the Worsley Works website. Given the difficulty people seem to be having in reaching him by email/phone, it’s possible he may no longer be in a position to manage correspondence that way. A letter might be seen by Alan himself, or by someone assisting him, who could perhaps help move things forward. -

The IRM (and the latest batch of Murphys AC stock) are easy coaches to regauge to 21mm. See the pic, which shows the difference. I did not worry about removing the brakes on my IRM ones, they were only for show anyway! I feel sure the same design would be used on the Park Royals, why change something when it works well. A supplier of 28mm length axles could be useful for rebuilding the older Murphys AC stock and the Craven bogies. I make my own 28mm axles but some may not wish to do this. -
Hope it goes well with the approaches. But I've a horrible feeling... about 10 years ago, there was an archaeology dig going on not far from here (the rules about amateur archaeology are very different from Ireland), and I got chatting to the people on site. They were very professional about it, they'd been digging there about 10 seasons, everything was recorded carefully, diagrams, photos, context sheets, artifacts, the lot. A year or so later I passed the same place, just a couple of people there. The group had basically dissolved after the death of one of the members. It turned out that the entire archive was in his (very secure) garage, but he'd died, and his relatives wanted to get the house sold. They cleared the garage, and everything went to the tip. They'd had reports published, fortunately, but only about some aspects of the findings, and it was so rich that there was years' worth of work still to be done. No longer possible. -

Great work. I have soldered boiler fittings before both brass and w/m but use adhesive now. It allows lots of time to test and adjust straightness and plumb, not to mention being more likely to break off in a fall, rather than staying put and potentially doing greater damage to the loco’s shape.
