      I mean, you don't want this "thread locked", do you ... ?

    To buy the expensive second-hand book, or to hope that the publisher does a reprint? The eternal question!

      Depends how much you really want it and the information it contains, I suppose.

      Worth checking specialist book sellers too, rather than Abe Books or Amazon

      Take one for the team? Buy it, at which point it will immediately be re-published and the rest of us will be able to get a copy and be eternally grateful :-)

      Its more the leg space that is the problem, I'm 6'4.

      My trousers have an S after the number so I fit ok in a 60 :-p More importantly, the cabs are nice and quiet

    Thank you to Andy Y for changing my username to something slightly more sensible! Will keep the profile pic, just in case.

      I know, I love 40K, but 'DeathWatch' was just a tad macabre for RMweb I think.

    Hmmmm, do I build more Cambrian Catfish, or hope that Heljan scale down their O Gauge one?

      Thats a good shout 9793, might see if I can commission some.

    Can anyone recommend a way to drill out the lifting eyes on a Hornby Sentinel? I assume a dremel type drill is the way to go?

      I used a pin vice for mine. Much easier to control, the metal is fairly soft too

      I use a pin vice for such jobs usually a 0.4mm drill bit as it's easier to keep control.

      Thank you chaps, I obviously need to be more patient and try a smaller drill bit!

      I've visited it and that part of Scotland. Some great layout potential.

    I've turned into a bit of a wagon building machine lately.

  15. Daniel W

    Has anyone built one of the Bill Bedford wagon chassis etches from Eileen's?

      Some very difficult longitudinal folds on the 1/108 'cos there's not much material to grip. The rest of it's fine.

    3. jjnewitt

      jjnewitt

      Depending on the type of chassis you're after there are better available elsewhere. Have a look at Rumney Models.

      If you like filling serrated edges with solder this'll do for you. Other than that follow Justins advice.

    Is getting very good at destroying the value of perfectly good models.

      Destroying the value of perfectly good models can, conversely, make them worth more on eBay......!

      If you start with second hand models you can actually increase the value, or so I have been told.

    Had a dream about a Dutch 37 last night, maybe it was a message from him upstairs!

    Just used Paul B's wagon site to compare prototype pics of my unuilt kits, with Davefrk's excellent whitemetal buffers. It'll never catch on, this internet thingy.
