Rob Pulham Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 , Rob told me of the trouble he had with the brake gear when he built his, and l must say the trouble is still there, the gear just does not fit so l will have to re-build the gear next... Sorry to hear that the problem is still there George I pretty much did as you did scratch built it from scrap etch. I also forgot to say snap, well almost - in best Blue Peter fashion, here's one I did earlier.... And very similar, this one took 2nd prize in the modelling competition at Telford. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
