    Did anyone ever name a loco "SWMBO" ? Sounds a bit Welsh. Adrian

    Leap ? Sounds a bit energetic for LM. "Gently move forwards" perhaps. Adrian

    I wonder how many of those house owners have bothered to look up what their shiny new house was built over. A few years back, I was working with a lad who'd just bought his first house on the outskirts of Dudley (Wet Mudlands), and I suggested to him that he looked up what the site had been. A quick session on the NLS site produced a combination of surprise and horror. Even though he was a local lad, he'd no idea of the history of the area. Adrian

    The trick is not to tow from the bow. If you are towing from the bank (how doesn't what is doing the pulling), you tow from a mast which is stepped on the centre line 25-30% of the way down the hull. That way the point of effort isn't pulling the bow into the bank. Having a good length of line also helps. With horses, whilst they took the load at the collar, they had a set of traces running down each side of their bodies which meant that the line attached just behind them. Adrian

    Hi Martin, Thanks, that is a really helpful answer. Adrian

    Thanks. It wasn't so much the cost that I had in mind, it was more knowing how much filament/resin I would need if I were to print some or all of the track plan. Knowing that I can do it for "traditional" methods, it would be useful for forward planning. Adrian

    I note the comment about this still being experimental. Is it / will it be possible to get Templot to give me at least an estimate of how much filament and resin (or rail) I would need to either produce a section of track (plain or turnout), or even the whole plan ? rather than having to wait until I get to the stage of feeding parts into the slicing programs. Thanks Adrian

    Reminds me of the tale of someone loading something long into the back of his car, then (as usual) slamming the rear door shut to push the load right it. Except this time the usual load was rigid, not flexible. Remember the days when vehicles had hinged front windscreens ? Adrian

    Leaving aside the celtic fringes, there are a few other places, but they are generally referred to as the minor counties. Adrian

    Interesting how many of those locations are railway yards, suggesting (to me anyway) that they weren't all existing commercial suppliers, but some were locations set up for the purpose. Adrian

    Wasn't that the B ark ? Adrian

    Oh dear, sounds like it could get a bit arty. Adrian
