    I think that the LNWR society Journal covered this not so long ago. From memory goods stock for Dyserth station was propelled from the previous station. I must dig the article out Richard

    Just for fun, a branch line terminus (non GWR) with no loop: Dyserth: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=18&lat=53.3029&lon=-3.4077&layers=168&b=1 http://disused-stations.org.uk/d/dyserth/index.shtml Richard

    True, I'm doing my best

    3/16 is 0.188", 40 thou bigger than 4BA. 0.040" is near enough 1mm* - you'd spot that Richard *or 3" at 4mm to the foot
  7. RLWP
    Quite - mine is a GWR free model world Richard

    4BA is the highly convenient 38.5 tpi* so chances are they're 6-40 UNF Bet you could screw a 4BA screw in until it suddenly shears off. I've played this kind of game before Richard * doesn't seem to be a convenient metric pitch either
  9. RLWP
    How about 6-32UNC or 6-40UNF? http://www.carbidedepot.com/formulas-tap-standard.htm That would be very annoying! Richard

    Most of those Kato flying carpet chassis are a/. very reliable and useful and b/. quite long Much too long for the small Simplexes This is a similar one just about hiding under a Roco 0-6-0 diesel body: The loco at the back has a Kato chassis with the platforms chopped off Richard MORE: There are basic dimensions here: http://www.gaugemaster.com/item_details.asp?code=K11-104
  12. RLWP
    How about the Minitrains diesels: Richard
  13. RLWP
    Also, the platforms are accessed by a curve across a bridge and the sidings by a much simpler approach. It seems to be making the working of trains more complicated than needed Lifting a train out of a station through a reverse curve seems unnecessarily perverse Richard

    From link above Richard

    And this one on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-collectible-Aeropiccola-Vibro-Saw-Vibrosaw-Scroll-Saw-with-spare-blades/333287890217 shows a picture of these blades: https://cherrytreetoys.com/eberle-single-tooth-scroll-saw-blades/ Richard
  16. RLWP
    So does this: Richard

    This seems useful: https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/topic/441832-aeropiccola-vibrosaw/ Richard
  18. RLWP
    It contributes to the artistic points

    This is where knowledge can substitute for money. Do some reading around paints and colours e.g: http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/colour_wheel.shtml When you know how colours work, you can get away with far fewer materials by mixing what you have Richard

    Judging by the SG wagons, there's a good chance the photo and film were made on the same visit Richard
  21. RLWP
    One day, some decent photos of Deganwy with slate wagons, SG wagons and ships will appear https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=53.2919&lon=-3.8290&layers=6&b=1 I've been fascinated with this bit of L&NWR traffic for ages Richard

    The Bonwick Manoeuvre is much prized by the aficionado of nudger-trapping. The delicate interplay of scenery, trapper and nudger beats football any day

    The shape of the cab front edge is different, and I think the lower part of the cab is longer in the second image Where the first loco has an injector, the second has a sandbox Richard
  24. RLWP
    What does it say on the nameplate in the second picture? These seem to be two different locos, the injector arrangement is different between the two pictures Richard
  25. RLWP
    OFF-TOPIC. Well, sort of Can I suggest the topic title of this thread be changed to That way, this thread covers fish, shellfish, bloaters, dabs, crabs and what have you. Then we can have other topics e.g. Pre-Grouping Wagon Loading - Beer! Richard
