Back in march when I had just started out in 16mm I told my local group leader about me and my mss kit loco I was building. He told me that I should sell my kit loco and buy a roundhouse engine.

What kind of encouragement is that!?

I think Chris is referring to the jane's and janets ace. And I commend your bravery for buying and dealing with dreamsteam.

Just asked a freind about a story he had about a dreamsteam boiler and apparently this boiler was set at 60 psi and the pressure gauge broke.

Thanks Chris.

Thanks again guys. Ace you know you made that vid on deasembling a mamod cylinder, how about a vid on c-clips?

Thanks ace but what about refitting them?

Thanks for the advice guys. Next question How do you remove and refit the c-clips with out damaging the paint on conrods.

Ace, what would you recommend doing to stop the polished wheel rims and tyres of the driving wheels from getting rusty? On pioneer the wheels have started to slightly develop some surface rust...
