In the same manner, interested to have a look.
Installed the recommended SketchUp Make, and it appears to be a 30 day free trial.

A timely warning! Just considering ordering a couple of sets.
I know these things are not quick, NP do wait for enough orders to fill a sheet for etching.
Perhaps another order would jolly things along?

I recall reading that, of the numbered gauges system, gauge 2 had died an early death, being only a little larger than gauge 1.
Gauge 4 seems to have gone a similar way. A sad loss, as 5/8" scale equates to 16mm in modern terms.

I second that.
The data says for zinc & galvanised metals, such as steel. ie car body repairs.
Somewhere, I can no longer find, I once saw "will not adhere to brass".
I don't understand it's popularity.

I have several from that list.
But then, I'm the our sole with the train.
What I don't have (any more) is a lawnmower.

Well, Richie, it's certainly baffling!
There's really nowhere for water/steam to collect, other than the top of the boiler.
Is it over filled?
Otherwise it's possible the steam pipe has become detached from the reverser block, under the smokebox.

Philpy asked about louvre panels.
Plastic 3D printed versions are available from SLR models.

Usual restrictions in present situation.

Perhaps Paul Bailey may provide the specific data.

I've fitted two. Not to my Edrig, but to RH Karen and Assoc Victory.
Both whistles are identical.
Resonator diameter is 9.6mm and projection from spec plate into cab is 70mm.

Typos, Jimmy?
Or is it despair?

Really, I think the issue comes down to the fine and blurry line between 16mm and G gauge.
Don't the G scale society provide a beginners' guide?

Thank you for your trouble.
Info stored for future use.

Do you know, or can you measure, the physical dimensions of the battery pack?
It would be helpful.

My experience with Delrin is on an Essel chassis under a converted HLW Mack body. It has the grunt to recover gassed-out steam locos, but the Delrin, as mentioned, progressively stretches. Eventually, a link can be removed, but the process continues. After removing a second link, the chain breaks. S...

Quote: by Busted Bricks » Thu Mar 05, 2020 9:19 pm It might be hard to tell from the picture but the chain used is steel roller chain, not Delrin chain. Sprockets are also steel. May I also ask about source of chain/sprockets. In my trawlings, 3mm pitch roller chain seems phenomenally expensive. Del...

The latest Accy newsletter says they are scaling down operations for the duration of the present health crisis.

Ian,
These are indeed M2 screws.
I find a 10BA nutspinner/box spanner is a good fit to a unworn screw head.
For longer reach, I have a length of plastic tube squeezed over the nutspinner's "handle".
I sort of hope the plastic will give before the screw head does!

I made one from this plan.
I believe you can even get flatbed vices in plastic.
Good enough for code 200 rail.

They gave up PayPal a couple of years ago to cut costs.
Subs now go through Warner Group publishers.
I believe lack of volunteer workers may be a factor.

Chucking in my ha'penn'th... PDF double Fairlie, completed December last. The main kit came via evilbuy, and turned out to have many parts missing. However, it had been well prepared, with a good coat of smooth primer. I had to source another motor, and in the process bought a third bogie from that ...
