I cut the rough shape with a skil saw believe or not and didn't have a belt sander so I used the bench grinder to clean the shape, no craftsman joiner tools here boss

4 coaches, perfect condition, all doubles of ones I have, will swap for alternative numbers or maybe green.

Getting there....

Ah right, I didn't realise that the mat was turning black with the PVA, that's not good, I'm afraid I'm hopeless to you then lad

Hi Derek, why do you think PVA is not practical for the turf? I would use the PVA, it dries clear too.

I agree but if anyone needs somewhere to hide the bodies then I have hundreds of acres of woodland around me

Sorry to hear that, condolences to his family.

Purrrrfect.

Great progress George, negotiations are always better than conflict according to the UN anyway

Haha. Ya I hear you.

Ya and the important bit is 'if the supplier is handling the Vat correctly' I presume you were still half asleep boss when you wrote An Pist?

Well done you.

Some recycling of a piece of teak and a Jacobs Elite tin lid and I have the initial stage of the locomotive rest for the turntable, I cut the piece of wood to size and shaped the underside by drawing an arc to the correct dimension by simply bowing a steel rule along the length of the wood, then I cut the tin lid to fit the wood and overhang each end to kinda replicate the original and glued it in place, it looks crude at the moment but it should work fine, to be continued....

Thanks John, that's good to know.

Just wow, beautiful workmanship.

Absolutely stunning

SOLD

Started on the turntable, just going to fabricate a manual version as the original was manual

This John?

That wheel press looks the business

It's brass, I can't see any indication of whether it's SSM or not though.

Bag opened John, it's TDM

Two more gone I'll do a deal on the rest, even a swap maybe.

I haven't opened the bag yet but I will

I seem to have the most of two locos but if I can get one made eventually then I'll be happy
