    Some great pics there, just goes to prove you can't have enough prototype info available to you. Good to see you back on here, I was getting a bit worried

    Good luck with the show over the weekend guys irrespective of who invited whom...... Wish I lived a bit closer but it is a fair truck from up here in the true north of England Edit: damn and blast still haven't made page 100!!!!

    Pedantic grammar aside I am optimistic this post will start page 100

    My old series 2 had a V8 with injection, proper quick but needed a new gearbox every few hundred miles Anyhow enough of this off topic rambling, let's see some modelling

    "Nope! The sheep in the fields at the back have run away and hidden though." Nothing you've done I hope

    Re Snow We have a dusting that managed to freeze overnight making the back lane (which is a bit steep!!) rather interesting when taking the boy to school this morning.......thank heaven for Mabel, my 1974 series III Land Rover

    It looks great Simon and if it passes the kids test well I think you are onto a winner. I was given a C&L turnout kit a good while ago but have never actually had a go at building trackwork but you have inspired me to have a go........I think I need to build a photo plank layout dos I need more layouts in my life/loft!!

    I exclusively use the Carrs solder paste when using the RSU, in fact I can't remember the last time I used ordinary solder!! I have recently built one of Jims lowmacs and it was built using only the RSU, lots of spot soldering but looks ok. Will try and post some pics of it if any interest??
  17. puddlejumper
    Looking good and clearly a much more enjoyable build!!!

    I think RSUs have a habit of dividing opinions, personally I wouldn't be without mine. As Chaz has shown they are really useful when you have something that needs localised heat that can be controlled accurately by the user. I wouldn't be without mine

    Great pics there Rod.............as ever

    I've found that while using a croc clip I get quite a bit of arcing so to overcome it I made a bigger one with flat jaws and it seemed to do the trick. Basically I filed down the serrated teeth of a large(ish) croc clip and soldered some brass pads to the jaws, seems to work a treat........

    Try here, http://www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=RSUI've got one and I love it. I use it for detail stuff and "spot welding" bigger stuff followed by a quick in and out with the big iron to seam the joints. You do have to think about the build sequence a bit though, they have a habit of making the kit instructions a bit redundant

    Hi Rod My dad used to have one of those Morris vans, we went on holiday in it once when we were kids......noisy, slow, smelly and unreliable but I loved it. It's brought back some great memories for me, thanks for posting the pic
  23. puddlejumper
    No the pics are really helpful for describing the process, enjoying your work mate
  24. puddlejumper
    Lovely looking loco Rod and I am not in the least bit jealous.........I wish !! All the best and have a great Xmas

    Forgot to say in last post, welcome along to the world of 7mm, I'm sure you will enjoy it and the vast majority of folk are warm and welcoming (the miserable ones don't use the interweb too much, it's not powered by steam you see!!!!) Guild membership is pretty good value too what with the gazette, shows and product directory etc
