So back on topic after my thread was hijacked ;) /myff/tom_tom_go/DSCN0816_zpsea4d5f50.jpg I always thought I would only ever have just one live steamer, how wrong was I :) Molly (the cat) looks annoyed because I sold the diesel chassis that was meant to have her name on it to help fund this coal fi...

Welcome to the forum.

You have the makings of a great little line there.

Very similar to what I am building (check my signature for the link).

Great minds think alike ;)

Cheers,

Tom

Also, make sure your graphics card driver is up to date.

Either use Windows Update or if you know the make/model of your card go to the manufacturer website that should have an auto-detect utility to update the software.

Running in a RH chassis

Hi,

My Lady Anne chassis kit will be nearly ready for testing soon and I wanted to know if there are any alternatives other than running on air as I do not have a compressor.

Alternatively, does anyone provide this service for newly built chassis kits at a fair price?

Cheers,

Tom

Hi Danny, IP Engineering make all the cosmetic bits and the axleboxes are from an IP laser cut kit which I have added rivet detail. I prefer metal axl...

Does anyone have a photo of any prototype of where the split pin chain goes on the wagon itself please?

I need to trim the chain, however, not sure where to attach it to on the wagon.

Cheers!

Wickes wood preserver works for me.

I think any cheap brand will do you just need to apply yearly and keep the wood clean.
