Happy Australia Day
Happy Australia Day to the down under members of the forum (and others )

Regards
Rob

Thank you everybody. Unfortunately the loco has restricted access so I think I will have to leave the battery in. It seems that slow charge using the balance plug on a good charger ( I have a B6) will be the least risk, if not necessarily the recommended method :? Once again thanks to all for the ad...

Charging Lipos in models
Ho Ho and Merry Christmas all. I am about to install a Lipo battery in a model for the first time. I am familiar with installing NiMh batteries and arranging for a charging socket. The Lipo needs both the power and balance leads connecting up. Is it simply a case of arranging that the power side is ...

Interesting that they are both non UK locos. As a colonial I am quite Ok with that but the Fowler Tender loco is on my purchase list before either of these, especially since it is available as a kit. I also wonder if the British engineering of the NDM-6 makes it worth about twice as much as the plin...

After recent comments on the forum about Ozmotors I had wondered if this was a possibility. I think the main problem would be making it narrow enough to fit between the frames for 32mm gauge. I think a home made port block is the answer but I have not yet measured it up. I am sure someone somewhere...

Phil There has been another tread on here recently about DIY points and one of the recommendations, which I have also used in the past , is to forget peco sleepers and use copper coated sleepers (from MArkway and possibly other sources.) If you were going to solder to your non-ferrous pins this mi...

I can remember being at a model railway show (York 1968 I think) and seeing old Slater of Plasticard fame, demonstrating the wonders of MEKPAK on his stand. If I recall correctly, one of the problems with MEK is that when the fumes pass through a cigarette, a certain amount of Phosgene is produced. ...

August SMT in Australia
I believe that the August SMT was sent out on 19 Aug. Have any other 16mm Association members in Australia got theirs yet??
