And now following your article on car R/C I have fitted it to my Baguley, thank you very much John :) .

Thanks, William. Nice to know that someone is listening ;)

The beast is now complete and my write-up will appear in GR in the fullness of time.

I spent a lot of Monday laid back in my rain-lounger running it, and I must say that it pleases me.

Pictures are threatened, when I work out how to attach them...

You need a Photobucket album first, upload the photo onto there, then paste the image code from that onto a message. It will appear once submit.

That's all I know of, any easier ways?

Ah OK! Do you have the origional copy saved onto your PC? If so could you put it into the Members Only Area-the Referance Library?

I think there would be copyright issues there, Jim.

I consider it tat when you have about 5 engines which are the same! I have other intrests, just I know what is money well spent.

Just saw your photo John, what a difference the detail makes, reminds me of a charrabang (or however you spell it).

Yes, the prototype was a WC&P SG railcar, but the detailing owes a lot to Peter Barnfield's cartoons. It's 'charabanc', but you're dead right. Funny that I didn't see that myself  :shock:
