  3. Grasshopper John

    Hi Tim, coming along nicely mate, Re boiler bands when i did mine I tinned them while still in the etch then gently formed them round the boiler and used quite a bit of flux and just slowly ran the tip of the iron from top to bottom You dont have to put solder on the boiler, It worked ok and a lot less excess solder to clean up. OK it took me a while to realise this and in your case its horse-bolted but for future reference. Grasshopper.

    Or you could always put a bit of an old stocking over the end of the tube of the hoover, It works very well

    There isn't a button for Brilliant Peter, so I will just say it, Brilliant you wouldn't notice the new rivets.
  12. Grasshopper John
    How Did you add those rivets that were missing Peter, I can visualise handrail removal ok, but not a total strip down to get to the inside. Another bit of magic lurks here methinks. Superb as always. John.
  13. Grasshopper John
    Lovely work as always JF. and it looks great on RB.
  14. Grasshopper John
    Inside motion as well, Incredible.

    Deano, why haven't you started a build thread of the Fairburn Or have I missed it sorry for hijack Dave.
  16. Grasshopper John
    Try this Dave, its bloody good stuff you can adjust the nozzle for sharp or wide spray. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-Galvanised-Stainless-Etch-Primer-BLACK-400ml-Aerosol-/171591697288?hash=item27f3a98388:g:nYkAAOSwj0NUkDqe Safe journey. John.

    Hello Mirek, I have just read your thread from start to last post, You are a master craftsman.
  18. Grasshopper John
    Tony, could we have a notice of title change, When I looked at my content I saw Merican, but couldn't for the life of me remember seeing such a thread
  19. Grasshopper John
    After I posted on your build thread David I wondered if you may have made a separate announcement bit of searching and I found it. Congratulations and very best wishes for the future.
  20. Grasshopper John
    David, I saw your post on WT, Congratulations on finalising your purchase of Gladiator. I wish you many years of production. John.
  21. Grasshopper John
    Am following this for sure David, I've only seen what you have already built and they are cracking models. Now I can get another master class in construction.
  22. Grasshopper John
    Superb Jon, nuff said.
  23. Grasshopper John
    That BR Standard looks very similar to the Stanier 2 6 4 T i;m waiting to come out of the DA stable early next year Steve.
  24. Grasshopper John
    I Agree with the first Part Tony, Peters' builds are premier league stuff, But so are yours.
  25. Grasshopper John
    Another Master Class Peter, Superb.
