I dont know if there is something about that Tom, but I really do reckon you should enter it in the MOTY just to stir things up!

I think there are just a minority that fit stereotypes out there, especially the "hoodie" types. Being 16, most people my age often get branded with this but we are not all like that! I am certainly not like that! For a start I dont even have a hoodie.

Happy New Year!!

Does anyone know the thread used on the regulator valve? I know its the same as the gas valve.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy New Year!

You could still use it as a two foot gauge loco but one re gauged from 2 foot 6 etc. Another possible engine could be this which seems about the right size.

Using Snaps (draftsight must surely do that) will create polylines very easily. Ebay is a good source of any of the thicker stuff though a good model shop will do the 0.8mm though, from anyone, that one will be more expensive. Standard grade should be fine though I would recommend getting some MDF (...

Who are you getting to cut them? I would offer but we cant get ours to work atm

I should be taking notes on Stalins Cult of Personality and the advantages of the purges to his leadership plus evaluating some of my photography coursework! Joys of A levels!

I saw your double fairlie yesterday on Matt's stand at Telford! Looked very nice.

You can make walls out of car body filler sheets.

How about a WD Hunslet folks? Aside from the Baldwin 2-6-2's, it basically gives you all the bigger WD loco's!!

I am near certain he will have been, not knowing anyone else with a sentinel called Noah. He's one of those people where you can totally pass him by unless you know he's there.

Peter must have been there in person. That Sentinel "Noah" is his personal one!

Personally, even though it is still a small loco, I reckon they could do a Sir Haydn on a bertie chassis. Many have been done using such a chassis.

Only the detail survives from the previous one Brian! The bogies are a separate laser cut kit. The planks aren't even engraved, they are cut but not right along so that they look realistic. Certainly would take you longer to do this one.

I seem to have had a lot of time available over the past few days to get back into 16mm. Started the day off today by giving Tarn Madoc a steam. He ran very well as normal though I dont know what the neighbors thought of the whistling! I will let the photo's do the talking. http://i1325.photobucket....

There is no real advantage of it. Baguley is the earlier valve gear and was mainly fitted to smaller engines. Bagnall Price came along after and is effectively a rearrangement of Walchaerts valve gear. Its also a lot simpler. Bagnall Price was an improvement and so it appears that Rishra was built b...

This is how it works copied from a Baguley page: The gear is of the rocking sector type but the motion of the sector is obtained in an ingenious way. On the crankpin between the coupling and connecting rods is a third rod, on the other end of which is attached a forked link swinging on a fixed centr...

I will be back with your answer shortly......hopefully
