I have a small problem. I have a digital subscription and the video cannot be seen in full screen as this mode has been turned off (it's not active on my screen). What's the problem? Cheers Andreas

Actually the site states that no batteries can be shipped as a standa alone with RM....

Hi Chris, this looks very promising system and I would also consider it for my 0 gauge stuff.....the problem that Protocab has is that they do not ship outside the UK. Its a pitty that the UK has so many absurd health and safety regulations that obstruct almost every part of life.... Cheers Andreas

The parkside catalogue can be downloaded from the respective Peco webpage :-)

At this point I will give my praise on the service of the new owners of Cambrian Models. I ordered on Saturday via webshop and the package arrived safely here in Switzerland today! Excellent service and thank you. The webshop has a good structure and it deducted the VAT automatically, which is extremely handy! A praise again for the owners! My only suggestion is that the webshop is kind of slow and it brings some bugs during the procedure of buying....it showed me that one item (the one chassis that I bought) that it was not available although it was because I checked it, but eventually it was all fine! I am sure that you know of these glitches and that the stability will improve If possible in the near future please add better pictures of the products (also those pictures missing)...it helps us abroad. I will be coming back again to get some goodies in the near future. Keep up the good work! Kind Regards Andreas

As shown above you can cut 0.4mm thick lines with a 0.25mm plasticard (10thou). Try it out...I designed the railing a was not sure if it was possible.

Hi to all...this is my first work with the Cameo. I bought the maschine last december but haven't used it much but now the time has come. The coach is a Greek one. All the work has been done with 0.5mm and 0.25mm polystyrene from Evergreen. The railing has 0.4mm line thickness and I have to say I am very pleased. The railing is two layers of 0.25mm Polystyrene. I have now more projects on the go :-) Cheers Andreas

Hi Andy, those ladders seem fine. Can you please tell me the width of these ladders....I am looking for some to equip some coaches that I have but they need to be 3mm wide.... Cheers Andreas

Hi Robin, have a look at this Flickr photo sequence of the build by Brian Daniels. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/83307-djh-class-03-starter-kit/?p=1376815 Good Luck Andreas

Most excellent!!!!

Hi Talltim, I know the "problem". French and brass models here are 1/43.5. Lenz, Brawa & Co. do 1/45. I do all my scratch building in 1/43.5 so are all my locos. Cheers Andreas

Hi Fat Controller, It looks tempting. There has been the opposite, greek ferry wagons coming to the UK in the 60s so I guess the other way round could also be the case....desicions, desicions.... Cheers Andreas

Hi Pete, The wagon looks really tempting. By researching I found that it was built starting in 1962. Am I right? Does anybody know how far south in continental Europe these wagons were coming? I would be tempted for my greek theme.... Cheers Andreas

Ian, of course this is also an option. I have thought of that I just dont have such a material here for the roof. Actually, for the mail coach in the picture above the chassis is from a commercial model thus it already has a weight. I will add 2 magnets on the floor of the body and I will use the metal weight of the chassis to adhere. If you have something that I could use, I dont know if Mike minds, but I would like to see it. If not in this topic in a separate about coachbuilding? It comes into mind I could use the metal from the tomato cans.... Mike again....most excellent and inspiring work! Cheers Andreas

You could also put one in the middle, lets say above a partition wall. But why should it bow in the middle? I can see no reason.

Hi Mike, just to make clear with what was my idea. I will drill a 2mm wide hole and 1mm deep. 1 hole on the side of the roof and one on the body. The glue the magnets with CA...basta.....You might be able to use even smaller magnets. I will also attach the chassis to the body like that. The only problem is if you use magnets for contacts on the line. Cheers Andreas

Hi Mike, I havent tried it yet but especially for roofs I would use neodymium magnets (e.g. 2*1mm). These are small and have a force of about 135 gramms so it should be enough to hold the roof......just a thought. I have a scratch build coach here that I will attach the roof like that. Cheers Andreas P.S. Excellent thread and I a tempted to buy the Sillouhette cutter for some scratchbuilding.....

They also accept PayPal, at least with orders from abroad. Cheers Andreas

I just managed to order a Dean Goods + 2500 Gallon Tender. From the reply from Brassmasters they seem to be selling really fast.....at least I got mine I wish them all the best for them and their investment! Kind Regards Andreas

Hey Steve, I wish you speedy recovery! Cheers Andreas

Oh great! I go through there every day.It has some excellent spot between Arth-Goldau and Steinen. I work in Schwyz and this is my daily tour....Zurich-Schwyz.Thanks for the piccies

Hi Rob, prototype would be better. Cheers Andreas

It's thick paper (I guess around 160gms) with a thickness of about 0.2mm.I know because I have a kit from them and measured it. Cheers Andreas

Hi Howard, MBW is a very unreliable producer. I would also like a couple o coaches from their range for my Greek stuff but let's see of they will ever produce them. Cheers Andreas

Hi Mike, For gluing try the normal clear UHU (the one that stinks) and dilute it with acetone to flow more freele. You can the apply it with a small brush in the way MEK is applied. This is for the card parts. Cheers Andreas
