    I don't know whether this gets the length needed but I thought this might work.

    Might it be better if they were the other way round i.e. accessed from the end near the stairs?

    Look at Bowesfield junction. It is on the approach to Thornaby and the start of the simpasture branch. It is all on the level and has 3 routes. I north to Stockton, The Simpasture branch and 1 south to Darlington/Northallerton

    Ignore wrong scale

    The RSU itself doesn't generate heat as such. It is the current flowing from the carbon rod through the workpiece that generated the heat at the point of resistance i.e. the joint to be soldered. If dering a chimney for example the carbon rod would be placed at the top but the heat would be generated around the base where it joins the smokebox. The benefit is that the base of the chimney can bu tinned or solder past/craem can be used and there is no solder outside the joint to clean up.

    The heat is generated at the point of maximum resistance which is the joint to be soldered. The hetr spreads from there is my understanding.

    From what I can see you are most of the wat there. You will need a gearbox and I'm not sure of the mounting points on that motor.

    The diagonal midland fencing was obtained from no longer servicable sleepers and creosoted ( midland style - George Dow). I doubt this changed to a painted finish.

    I seem to manage quite well

    Chas As I am currently test building the round tank version I have spent a lot of time looking at that joint. There is a very clear picture on page 12 of Yeadon of a round tank loco it shows the tank font up against the boiler cladding. On page 26 there is a photo of the square tank version (the one you are building showung a similar close arrangement. There is a rod which I think is to the blower that passes throgh the front so I think it is just a plate that extends past the tank inner.

    Hi Thanks for that. It looks like I might need to do the same, I had hoped they were commercial prints.

    I have come across these on my workbench. I can't remember where I got them from nor what I was going to use them for. Anybody able to help tell what they are?

    I have buillt the N8 version using a portescap1616 and MJT converion which doesn't intrude on the cab. Just waiting for better weather to paint it.

    It does say they only supply commercial customers

    With regard to magazine articles I would read them on model constructin where innovates means had been used to model the item correctly rather than just folloing the instructions. Articles on how locos and coaches were diagrammed so that correct operation and formations can be modelled.

    I have just completed one and it's now ready for the paint shop. Quite a straight forward build.

    As they give the kit reference I would say that it is the kit in question
  22. Paul Cram
    ok thanks

    Have you stopped doing the custom number plates? I can't see them on your site.

    Hawes is an exact scale model with 45' panels.
  25. Paul Cram
    Well we do go to that extent and I think you have misunderstood where I was coming from regarding the key at the joint, we are both saying the same thing hebce the ey needs to point away from the joint regardless of the accerating or braking forces as the fishplate needs to fit.
