RMweb Gold 30801 Posted January 5, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hi, sorry the link doesn't work, can you guys assist please Many thanks Alex The link works great, it's just old RMWeb seems to be broken at the moment I got rivets from http://www.scalehardware.com/miniature-rivets-c-10?zenid=cc9e8b9b3b3feb455d784e806bba87bd&zenid=cc9e8b9b3b3feb455d784e806bba87bd I think I used 0.5 mm (RIVT-05-B ) and 0.7mm (RIVT-07-B ) brass rivets, but check the first link again once old RMweb is back in case I mis-remembered.

Stan Owen Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Hudsonrob49 I have a dremil 300 i got from b and q but I find the extras too expensive try ebay Happy New Year to all and its snowing again............ Ted ........ Hi Assuming you're from the UK, try Maplins (in on eof their shops or via their website) - they generally sell a kit with lots of attachments (wire brushes, grinding tools, etc) for any small electric drill and the kit also includes a substantial number of cutter discs (including mandrel) which are very expensive through normal suppliers. The quality isn't in the top league but at the price, I'm not complaining. Hope this helps Stan Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejgray52 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi Back again with the latest issues... Both issues 105 and 106 contain the axle boxes for the tender, plus details on applying transfers to the wheels (hmmm....) motorising the chassis and a bit of painting. Interesting drive to the newsagents; the 1 and a half miles to the main road took 40 minutes - an unusual amount of snow for the Isle of Wight!

oscaler Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Need to purchase brass castings to replace the white metal piston rods, axles that do not wobble and other items supplied in the kit. Can someone point me in the direction of an oline shop that exports to Australia. I looked through the UK Model Guide but could not find anything.

kramskee Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi everyone and a happy new year to you all just a quick question, I recieved my issue 68 last week and it says there to take off 1mm on the arches for the front bogie splashers, is this correct? I tried to look this up on the old forum but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment! Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to look this up on the old forum but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment! Yep. Otherwise the bogie wheels will foul the splashers on curves. I haven't done mine yet.

bushrat Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi Guys, Just got issue 77 here, and noticed that there is an instruction NOT to use the valve rockers from issue 75 (expletive deleted!) , so upon comparing the two parts, one is etched stainless steel, and the other is cast metal, (and bent!) , and are both different lengths, the new one is about 5mm shorter than the etched one! Wot gives? Anyone got any clues, or am I reading it wrong? This is getting sillier by the issue! Bushrat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejgray52 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well, issue 107 is here; New parts are: 2 thicknesses of wire (for later) water filler front and rear water dome The rest of the instructions are for fitting the hopper assembly and bulkhead + coal partition to the tender. Some material has to be removed from the front water dome to make it fit... (Have we been here before?) Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushrat Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I Have used "rockers" from '77,I found them better quality.----ROB OK, thanks for the reply Rob, but which ones would be the correct ones to use length wise, would'nt it make a difference to the gear motion? I really can't understand them remaking this part as a casting, as it would be more subject to wear than the steel, at least I would think so. It would be so nice to have a scale data sheet of this locomotive to work from! Maybe next one they do they might supply one as a fold out in one of the early issues!
