  1. here another one j94 chassis terrier wheels J72 body and cylinders etc out of the spares box. no102 from the London And Blackwall railway about1866
  2. Lockdown projects, allowing for the cruelty of the camera! according to the photo I found this was a 1811 peckett but there is nothing on the list of pecketts to identify it so Built it anyway from an old Hornby saddle tank and a Terrier
  3. That's cool did you print the motor mount if so are they available to buy as I have a chassis without motor.
  4. A J 72 is very hackable to a J65 . The biggest problem is the awful plastic that some of the earlier ones were made of, very difficult to stick, but there have been quite a few done, not least by Martyn. the white metal K,s kit can be hacked as well. I bought a J68 from cdc , the printed one and it is good, fits both the Terrier chassis and a SE Finecast J69 chassis which can still be got as a kit of part.
  5. Absolutely the right approach I spent most of yesterday failing to make a loco run so I put it back in its box and played with one that did work!
  6. you could look at the 0-6-0's of the Great Eastern dsuch as the E22(J65) which often had the front rods disconnected to run as 2-4-0's using the original wheels.
  7. actually thats a stupid question thanks for the advice
  8. Oh dear wnyone know where I can get a blanking plate?
  9. Got a J15 from a auction sight. Doesnt run on DC has a DCC chip. Do I take the chip out? Electric trickery seems to be available every where except at the motor!( which works on its own!) advice please?
  10. I have used the Poppy jig quite a lot. the holes wear a bit but not enough to cause any problems with compensation. I havent had any problems with rigid chassis, once I realised that I had bent one of the rods, replaement readily available , however. I would recommend one of these .
  11. harpist ice cream seller and man with moustache go to war
  12. lots of people dig tunnel get repeated every Christmas
  13. some people drive ambulance to Alexandria and have a beer
  14. old yellow pages are good the paper is thin and absorbent( sounds like old TV ad for bog roll) doesn't grow mould either. don't use it so much now . The resulting structure is light and tough as old boots takes a paint coat well.
  15. i've used caboose industries throws for a time. If you can get sprung ones they work best unsprung ones require a joggle in the wire or a separate spring, but they can all work remotely.
