You can use fine wet n dry for the rail heads 1000 or 1200 grit. Clean the ends of the rails with a fibre glass pencil or fine wire wool before fitting the fish plates. This should give a good connection, for how long I would not want to say, brass starts to tarnish in a matter of hours, nickel stee...

Model Engineering Exhibition-Sandown Park / Disabled access
I'm thinking about attending this show for the 1st time. I would like to take my Grandfather with me, as he has a general interest in all things mechanical. My only concern is that he uses a mobility scooter due to a severe stroke. If anybody here has attended this show in recent years I would like ...

I don't have a line of my own and hence no builders either, but from visiting other people's lines, it seems that not all buildings are left out all of the time. The more vulnerable ones are brought indoors, space permitting. I should think for wooden buildings a varnish or one of the fence treatmen...

I purchased an MSS tank from Dream steam and the service was excellent. I have since ordered upgrade parts from them and will be using them in the future. I think, like superbiker_uk, one bad product has caused some problems which don't reflect well on the rest of the companys products and service. ...

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I already have an MSS tank that is slowly evolving into a great little engine. It does need a companion though :) . I have looked at some of the various options and I just keep coming back to the Roundhouse Katie. It looks great, will handle tight curves, the ones ...

Live Steam loco kits
Could somebody please point me in the direction of 16mm live steam loco kits? I have looked at the Roundhouse Kits but would like to have a look at what others might be offering. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places but there seems to be little on offer. Ideally I would be looking at a complete kit...
