MAKE-IT-UP-AS-I-GO-ALONG locomotive

[pauly]

Iv been doing a little relax modelling projet which I call the MAKE-IT-UP-AS-I-GO-ALONG locomotive project!

basically Iv been slowly building a locomotive out of bits Iv had to hand and havent planned anything ahead.

As you can see Iv kept the electrics simple.






making a vague start on the body with my scroll saw

[Hancockshire]

Well do it, I thought you were making a Simplex Caravan?

Nice one Pauly, I wonder if anyone does readily wired reversable switches... Nice scroll saw too, they really do make life easy

[Hancockshire]

Dad won't buy me the parts

[mhlr]

So why don't you buy the parts? You could go to the bank and open an account, pay some cash in (from your job or whatever), you get a debit card with the account, then you can order over the phone or online. Job's a good'un. Flexibility too then.

Can 15 year olds get proper bank accounts?

Can 15 year olds get proper bank accounts?

Well no, but you can get a savings account, I opened mine at 13... I think HSBC, NatWest etc do them.

[SillyBilly]

You get a 'cashcard' my Natwest one is Solo, I can use it in Tesco, garden railway shows, over the internet, most places really.

some places don't accept them, but most places will.

One other thing, where did you get that scroll saw and how much did you pay for it. I could do with something just like that! any chance of an overall view of it?

I got it from Machinemart, its speed adjustable and I think it was £70 odd.

Thanks for the reply. looks like a handy piece of kit, even if it is a little bulky for my shed (its not that my shed is small, quite the opposite, its just full!)

I'm getting one of those[/color

[mhlr]

Hancockshire - nice one, you'll be able to buy your own stuff then!

Paul, pauly's is a much nicer one than mine, better quality and a good name on the side of it , but I got one that does the job for £30/40 in one of those 'Wolf' machines catalogs.

[MoelygestLR]

Iv found a similar Clarke one for 60 quid so I think ill go and get that during the week when i have some free time. Bring on the scratchbuilds

I was nicknamed at college laser cutter because of my ability to cut so close to the line i had marked out with the band saw

Although I would only be able to withdraw money from a bank of Scotland machine so until I can get a proper account, my money's staying in a small box(for an M&S meccano set)

[SillyBilly]

I thought you wanted an MSS?

[PCLR]

talk about changing your mind!!!!

[Hancockshire]

I still want an MSS but I would like an electric engine to work with Meldrew
