The maximum allowable back-to-back measurement for 21mm gauge.

Sure it'll fall apart by the time I come back
-
AGW wheelsets have arrived, and I can't wait to get started, even with no back-to-back gauge....

Yes, the wheel has come full circle, as Len Newman has been a central player in K&L (which became C&L), the P4 Track Company, and Exactoscale.

Did they ever do any work on it? When I last saw it (2003, I think) the thing was quite decrepit!
-
Careful now.

I find that Carr's Yellow Label flux is very good at helping the tinning/cleaning process, without being (too) corrosive. Electrical multicore solder (which contains resin rather than acid flux) is also quite good. -
When using the Forum albums function, is there any way to rotate the photos once they've been uploaded?

Each class book has a weight diagram showing wheelbases, axle loadings, and some basic data, but no more than that.

Not yet.

Someone's already started to produce sprung diesel bogies for P4 modellers: click here

That was fascinating. The overlaid "point / re-railer" thing would probably never have been allowed in the UK. Notwork Fail would have insisted on a proper point being laid...and would have charged for it as well....

What was the slogan to the film? "They had absolutely nothing. They were prepared to risk it all...."

Well I suppose they do roll yer man out from time to time.....! -
The incorrect back-to-back gauge went back to Scalefour Stores this morning. Meanwhile, three useful books published by the Belfast & County Down Railway Museum Trust turned up today, courtesy of Cuan Publications: Each volume is limited to 550 copies; not sure how many of each class the Trust has sold so far, but I'd say you should get them whilst you have the chance. Having read Volume 6, I am now having very impure thoughts about creating a "WT"-class 2-6-4T.

Now that would be a good candidate for sliding doors. Some sort of system involving memory wire might do it.....
-
No. But now you've told me about it, I do hope they might replicate the line along the waterfront.
-
God Almighty, not again!

Scalefour Stores has covered itself in glory by sending me the wrong back-to-back gauge. Back it goes. Read the order sheet next time, Mr. Suter! :-(

Is that John Craven's voice?

Ah...deadly! Thanks!

Yer man Jimmy Savile brought back so many memories. Wonder who the singer was who did the "This is the age of the train" jingle?
-
Eh, no. There was no diagram...*bangs head against wall repeatedly*

Signal and town background reminds me of the full-size signal which stood in someone's front garden in Strabane after the station there had closed down.
