RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted March 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2018 May I ask if anyone that frequents this rediculous thread if they have one of those polystyrene cutter things that I might borrow or even buy/swap? Thanks Phil Never used one Phil, always used a 12" hacksaw blade. The hacksaw can be curved and can produce nice flowing curves. The hot wire thingies aren't as flexible IMO and I really don't like the idea of hot polystyrene fumes - not good for a duck's chest. Yes there's the polystyrene balls everywhere but a hoover soon sorts those. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted March 26, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 26, 2018 Well done - the ones I was driving on Grantham had more wagons and thingies and I only had to press a button to uncouple them, clever electrickery did the rest (and it wasn't even that Don't Count Chickens type wiring). Fortunately nobody took any photos of my performance but some character managed to catch a view of various of us relaxing while preparing to attend an exhibition in Australia - post No169941 on this page - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/229-early-risers/page-6798 If the devil cast his net... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 26, 2018 More importantly, Mike Stationmaster was at Ally Pally and he missed me driving trains. EM ones with three link couplings. See I can do finescale. Ally Pally.jpg Photo by my mate Andy Bell I note the tongue being utilised as a back up uncoupler lest the wire hooky thing fails. Nice option as long as the dribble doesn’t get on the stock. Sally Eva 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted March 27, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks Chris, Rob and BGM for the tip re the flumes. I shall be mainly using a bread knife and a bendy blade as suggested. I av an oover without an andle and my track needs hiding anyway.

RMweb Gold 81C Posted March 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 27, 2018 Phillipus you could get one of these it leaves a fine dust cutting polystyrene much like sawdust and it's useful for other jobs too. (Make sure the blades are in the box if you get one) This is a cheap jobbie you could go overboard and get a Bosch proffesssional for £229 https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb752htl-300w-multi-tool-230-240v/8298x Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite impressed - the cutter head vibrates very fast, but with little movement, so the dust created tends to stay right where it is instead of having sawdust over a wide area.
