Started work on converting a pair of Lima 4f loco's - first chassis built. Second chassis 'acquired' already built - just needs refurbishing. Have one Lima tender in bits box - just need a second. Both bodies being modified as per John Middleton's article in Gauge O Guild gazette vol 13, no 12. The plan is to produce a 4f for under a ton(£100). Now trying to source low cost parts etc to complete the project.
Will update with pictures/information etc as project develops - see also Gauge O Guil
This might seem like a silly question - however, being a novice builder - is it possible to solder aluminium?
I have been accumulating various items to scratch build coaches, including aluminium sides and extruded roofs and floors. If not - what would be the best method of joining these parts together? Any ideas greatly appreciated. Regards, P
