Hornby and Bachmann do this on their coaches. They have started to have a cam arrangement underneath to guide the first part of the movement of the draw bar. Its all good on flat curves when the track has bumps and is not level, problems. Look at Accucraft. the coupling pivots and is tensioned with ...

I've used them in several projects. I like them, they are easy to fit square and run any axle freely. They even come with small set screws. If you want to cut them in anyway they are tough. I used a grinding wheel to shape a set up to my requirements. They can baulk up width wise. All my Andel model...

If you do read it folks,feel free to ask questions or let me know your thoughts could be fun.

You can read about in my book " A flying Life" by Lloyd Edwards. my small book is on Amaon/kindle etc. My writing is not fab but things happened which were not mainstream. Some luck some bad luck, in short life.

How about cutting every other sleeper out of Peco track? Keep the ladder of plastic and only cut the edge of the sleeper and the inside. Just an idea

Clever. I've worked in card and thought never again. Mainly the curves and how it can damage in the build handling. Well done Dad!

I think we've al pushed the boundaries with the domestic authorities trying to model... When I was flying I met an older lady after being arrested in Jeddah about 16 years ago. She now lives up the road in the next village! She and her fella came round for a big nosh up and story telling. She starte...

This is what Peco 605 curves look like in a mining theme..

Cor! being a bit of a pyromaniac I feel myself being drawn in!

I think I'm away with the fairies half the time! Now you have a Southern accent, so you must be like me, "an up country refugee!" Go west as the song says........
Enlightenment. Summerlands is your line and business as I remember. I had you muddled with Chris Cairns! Ha!

I love Rob Bennets work. Is the line near you Chris?

You'll be needing an inline oiler with these

Looks great! Where did the metal fittings come from? Or how where they made?

I've always used Home fire ovals

They seem great value and the beauty of building is you can tailor these to suit your needs. I hope someone can show pics of what you want. Good luck

There has to be a way round it.https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nDPm ... 00/261.JPG

Is there anything on You tube that will help? Just an idea......

I know how you feel. It's the beauty of the shows, being able to see things together. I have Accucraft rolling stock and often it is too wide. Now I think I will flog them off. I have a Tom Rolt and will now try to build an Atropos coach from the Corris stock because of its size in relation to the l...

Top Notch!

I used to fly into Frisco at least twice a year. The ATC controllers always set us up too high on the circuit, it was a simple procedure on approach, with only moderate even traffic flow. The 747 type had been flying in and out for years and yet it was the same each time bazar! Lovely place to visit...
