sb67 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Hi Paul. I've been looking at the Wheel puller, do you know the diameter of the pin that pushes the axel out, it looks a bit big in the listing photo? I'm guessing most OO Gauge axels are 2/2.5 ml in diameter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing most OO Gauge axels are 2/2.5 ml in diameter. "Generally" speaking the pin is usually 2mm diameter as the primary use for these is as a gear puller, not a wheel puller/pusher, but a quick spin in a drill (or lathe if you're posh) and dressing with a file will take enough off to allow it not to interfere, and as Paul knows, there are fixtures and fittings which some of us use to make the job easier, less destructive and more accurate!

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2023 Finally a bit of track building today, I had four pairs of blades to make so made them up today and got the chairs threaded on two pairs. Also took the opportunity to take some pics of the ballast in the sun. Paul 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted May 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi Paul. Yes I see the blue now, beautiful wee thing. We have a British Short hair, similar colouring, but they are quite standoffish, not really keen on snuggling. I understand the Ragdolls are more couthie and like a lap to curl up on. I hope she brings you many years of happiness! Anyway, back to the railway... Best Scott. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Thanks Rod the buses are just various ones I’ve found on eBay, I’m not very well up on buses although I’ve got very fond memories of Atlanteans on the 28,29 and 55 route as I grew up in Litherland. As for the routes I’m not sure but there’s a few fellas in work who are into their buses and own a few so I’ll ask next time I see them. We actually had the ‘Dulux’ bus at our wedding so I had to get that when I seen it. I just need to learn how to weather these and add interior lights etc. Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
