High Level Kits Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Can I add the AW D10 to my Christmas list yet? Loved the pilot model at Scaleforum and even bought the Gibson Pug wheels ready! And might I please ask if there is anything moving with the custom gearbox drive for Mike Edge's Fell? Thanks. Glad you liked the new kit. That's moving forward at my usual pace and I should have those ready early next year. The way my suppliers are working these days, Xmas is probably out I'm afraid. The fell drive unit will be going on a test etch film, and that's due to go in in the next two weeks or so. I may just get those back before the end of December. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Clive Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Chris, I emailed you recently about purchasing two of your J72 chassis kits plus parts to replace the Bachmann chassis I have. Are you able to supply everything? If not the Mashima motors, I can likely source them elsewhere if I know the model number to look for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

J72s are out of stock at this point in time, but all kits are being replenished ready for next spring. I've checked the etches, and there are some J72s, so I can make those the first on the list to pack. The other stuff that goes with it is fine. Incidentally, we have a good stock of motors at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Level Kits Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Well, it's been a good run of maybe 6 months, perhaps even a bit longer, but the High Level website's playing up again. It's being investigated and hopefully will be sorted soon. Edited March 1, 2019 by High Level Kits 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Chris, I see that you're down as a new trader at the York show this year. That's good. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Level Kits Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Hopefully, all the website and e mail problems are sorted now, and anyone who wants to view the site can do so. A couple of new Products: For those who've bought the Judith Edge Fell kit wanting to run as a 4plus 4 with the wheelsets in unison, we have the Coupler Unit, which fits onto one of our boxes. Another addition to the range is a gearbox, the forst in a long time. Occasionally, we have been asked about the possibility of using articulation with the tall HiFlier gearbox. A typical application might be a 9F, in which a LoadHauler+ is a good fit, but the ratios are a bit too high for a decent top speed. So now the HiFlier + gives you the height, with 34/45 or 60:1 ratios to choose from and the option of the using a DriveStretcher. Instructions can be downloaded by clicking the links below: Fell Coupler Unit HiFlier+ Edited March 30, 2019 by High Level Kits Fixing links 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ray Nolton Posted May 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2019 Have recently completed Chris' 70 HP Fowler : this has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish and I cannot speak too highly of this kit. It is built to P4 standards, and will be running on UNITED MILLS in the near future. Seen here with another recent build, Mike Edge's lovely little 48ds. 25 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruston Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Chris (or anyone else who is able to answer) I am attempting to print off the High Level gearbox planner pdf but although I can turn the page as it's viewed on the screen it still prints out in a landscape format on A4 and so misses off the last part, which also has the scale on it. How do I get it to print portrait so the whole page fits on the sheet of A4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

railroadbill Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Had this problem printing pdfs, when the panel for the printer appears I just check that the landscape/portrait option is set to portrait. Also printer preview option helps to make sure its going to print in correct format. Hope this helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nile Posted July 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 24, 2019 That should be a function of your printer driver, or whatever you are using to view the pdf. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've said that I've had a look again and there's a 'properties' thing, which lets me choose between portrait and landscape. I've never printed anything in landscape, ever, so I don't know why it's like that. Anyway, it's sorted now. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDFs seem to be able to override printer settings for the likes of page orientation, unlike say Microsoft Word which seems to get the message through to the printer. However, I believe in both those cases it's possible to use the printer properties to override the document properties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Level Kits Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 Sorry, I missed this. The default is portrait, and that'ss the orientation of the original so it shouldn't give problems in most cases. If you 've been using landscape for other stuff then it may be on that setting and so needs changing. Make sure 'actauls size' is ticked for scaling.

I have printed it and it appears to have printed to the correct size but no matter whether it's printed to 'fill page' or 'shrink to fit' it still misses off the scale along the bottom and doesn't even try to print that on a second sheet of paper. I'm having to go off the 11.8mm measurement of the Loadhauler compact and that's coming out as near as makes no difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting a print, and it's as near to correct size as needed, then might be worth looking at the margins settings for your printer to see if that helps get the lot on the page. I've found tweaks to top and bottom margins sometimes helps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted July 25, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 25, 2019 Margins sound like the issue. If your printer has a minimum bottom margin that's quite large, it could be that the PDF's bottom is below that cut off. 'Resize to fit' will likely only work to the page size, not the printer's printable area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26power Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Might be worth checking the paper size is set correctly? A friend's printer seemed to always want to revert to US size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
