    Wow, modern thinking going on there, next thing it will be those new fangled radial engines in aeroplanes EDIT due to appalling spelling 1st time round

    I can believe that even though you lost me after incomplete combustion.......... Have to say both your loco's look stunning, excellent examples of both methods

    It's another one of those subjects that polarises opinions, I think Chris is absolutely right but airbrushes are the tool of choice for me when weathering track or misting over buildings. I find it gives a degree of consistency if you use a very light touch........ Now I shall wait for the smelly stuff to hit the air rotating device........

    My G5 doesnt do that.......but there again it does have about 3lbs of lead in it........maybe its a southern thing

    I assume the bottom pic is actually OK but it looks like a 70s motor with the rear end jacked up a la Arseky & Crutch!!!

    Just be careful what you tie a knot in.........

    If she can find all the bits I've dropped and lost she would be worth every penny of those "immortal earnings"..........see what I did there??

    That is excellent news, I'm sure everyone wishes him all the very best
  9. puddlejumper
    Yep no 2 for me is the best overall compromise

    What about some type of micro switch arrangement which would trigger a warning light so you could see where everything is??

    My god that is sooo tidy how do you do it??? My railway room always looks like a bomb has gone off in there

    What a fantastic job they have made of your Fowler, it really looks the part

    Just re-read this from the beginning (cos I heard Chad was coming out and was looking for some clues!!) and have really enjoyed it. Fantastic stuff Chaz, you should be immensely proud of what you have done Doug

    That's really helpful, thanks. I have been looking at Zimo chips as they seem to be a good compromise between quality and price. I am currently trying to fit some caps to my Hudswell Clarke, will let you know how I get on Doug

    Hi Chaz, Sadly I couldn't make Telford this year but looks like you has a good time there. Am interested in your point re stay alives, I too have come to the same conclusion (guessing for the same reasons short wheelbase locos don't like the slightest bit of dirty track etc) and was wondering which chips you are going for?? Doug

    Yes they look great, but leave me with a sense of it's not fair yours is bigger than mine I think its called buffer envy

    Has to be said I am really enjoying following this thread, truly inspirational stuff and on a shoestring too. Leaves me sorely tempted but with two other projects on the go and two completed layouts shed/loft/garage space is at a bit of a premium, of course the house next door is empty.........mmmmm, I wonder.......
  18. puddlejumper
    Yep, enjoyed the article, in fact it was Reely Grate

    So when all else fails Read the instructions??
  20. puddlejumper
    Really enjoying this but have to highlight my disappointment with the content given the thread title!!!
  21. puddlejumper
    I have to agree, there is a real sense of satisfaction when yo complete a joint that's nice and clean and bright........makes all the cock ups fade away (for a little while anyway!!)
  22. puddlejumper
    Great start and looking good already, just remember slow and steady wins the race and if you're not sure just ask.....there's plenty of folk out here who will be more than happy to help, oh and remember to enjoy it, it is a hobby after all...
  23. puddlejumper
    Am loving the video guys, more please
  24. puddlejumper
    Impressive stuff building your own, I have to say mine is a London Road Models one & is probably my favourite piece of kit, it's fantastic for all those awkward overlay and laminating jobs but you do need to think about the build sequence

    As Ray says, turning the loco has no effect in DCC land. Forward is always forward...... Doug
