Dazzler Fan

+ Includes interesting "in cab" perspectives from one of only two women drivers of Britain's HST125 InterCity trains. - she loves speed! Noel

+ Obviously away for the academic break. Noel

+ This Thread could do with its own Index!

Very expensive, with too many alternative listings available. - and with fanciful P&P!

+ The eBay Listing item #302031347458 has been renewed on eBay.co.uk for the S&DJR No. 25a "Dazzler" Outside the VAT area use eBay.com item #301970370895 Noel

+ The "Fringe" on a waterslide definitely does nothing for the look of a model, whether or not it is spot on prototype. Several kit makers have been pumping out kits for a lifetime of many in the hobby, yet we still get the kits with original waterslide transfers. Rub-on transfers are by far a better deal for getting a crisp and near finish to the RTR with their Pad Printed liveries; but this introduces another problem of transferring very small items and print. The answer of course is to mount the very small print on a bigger backing of primary colour of the kit. A print of a transparent colour background for Rub-Ons has to be abandoned because it still gave the shadow of a Waterslide. The choice has to be made for kit colour in the hope that the modeller will accept the compromise for a better finish with small items of livery. Noel

............. yes, but how long did it linger? For something unusual there are 3D printed GWR Pollen C's, now with the three numbered pairs on a dedicated rub-on sheet. noel

Worked for Fisher & Ludlow Converor Division in the early 60's We sent long sections of conveyor work to the rebuild of their plant in the old Czechoslovakia - by air on special aircraft. Very long established automobile maker. Noel

+ Shapeways have been loosing a sprue on the FXD print. This will be made good, but takes their normal turn around time. Noel

+ Shapeways have now supplied the first 5 customers. - there will be a pause for feedback. Noel

+ I think the minimum needs to be reviewed. It has been the rate since VAT was first introduced. The amount includes Postage. Postage from US to the UK can easily exceed the Limit, increasingly so with the falling Pound, and makes quite small items available to charges. Last Christmas a friend got caught with a Parcel of Gifts, because there is a Limit also on the value of Gifts, devalued by the Pound! Noel

What is the situation into UK with VAT on items from China? Noel

Too big

+ TG grew to be a show built on personalities. "Like Cat & Dog Goodwill", fire those personalities and the franchise is worthless. The US has several car shows, Shadeways Garage, Motor, Jay Leno's Garage and on Facebook, Comedians in cars getting coffee. Noel (Passenger seat in Mazda Renesis engined 1967 MGB - 215hp)

+ There is an arrangement with a reverse boss available for the tail rotor on helicopters (Model 450) made in a nylon that is slightly too large for 4mm scale I have reproduced this arrangement in FUD specifically with glue lines for 1/8th axle and tailored to the motor with its flat. Noel

+ These are also plentiful cheap, and powerful, with a range of final ratios. Noel

+ Anyone waiting, yet another problem.

+ Looks like the lack of business expertise does not know when to seek professional help. Small businesses usually work together when they have a common goal. There are plenty of injection molding tool makers around - even within the Trade! Noel

+ I am having a clear out of unmade Cooper Craft kits soon on eBay. Have several Ratio kits of GWR Open C's that would make a nice rake. Years of collecting, and then moving on to other things. Noel

Ian; Can't wait until we see you tackle clouds. - I am putting off. Chris Nevard has some clever tricks for landscape detail, blending into distance. Noel

+ Nebnoswal, This layout is beautiful and has a lot of interesting detail. While it is a model railway layout, it is an excellent example of how the railway becomes less important when it is placed into its environment; in the best traditions of Pendon. I think this layout takes the hobby to a level we all, at least me, aspire. Noel

+ The wondering mind? (24 in the Test)
