Lady Anne Kit; Axle Problems
Hello all! I've been away for a bit to concentrate on other matters but I'm back. And, I've recently acquired an old Lady Anne kit (ca. 1990). I'm still early in the construction but I've run into a couple of small issues. First of all, the bushings are not so easy of a press fit into the frame as t...

It's not for Millie specifically, but I hacked together a tender for my Ruby for the same reason; to give it more of a presence. Technically it's an auxiliary tender but it spends most (all) of it's time behind Ruby. If I recall, Millie is a bit more narrow than Ruby, so it may work even better in t...

Roundhouse Valve Chest; Is It Broken?
Afternoon all, With her ladyship ill and messy roads outside, this afternoon I set about servicing my second hand Millie (built 02/99) which I purchased last year. I had ordered a cylinder service kit to replace some well deteriorated O rings on the valve spindles and so began by disassembling for a...

45mm. I started with 45mm for a few reasons. First, I was working in 1:24 at the time and even though I was relatively wealthy compared to my current situation, I decided to start on a budget with the cheap, four wheel line from Hartland which is 45mm.

Many thanks for your response, it's appreciated. It's almost been a week since we got the news and I'm starting to feel like I can handle it at this point. Similair to what you touched on, for the first few days I had a very -VERY- difficult time trying to figure out how to behave like any day was j...
