    Are Markits wheels just stiff or do they simply not come off their axles as bought?

      Stiff. rock them on and off in a diagonal pattern. Once they are worked on and off, they should go on easily enough and be secured with the nuts.

    Before critisizing someone first walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you critisize them you are a mile apart AND have their shoes

    Debating the feasibility of a K3 to K2 conversion with a B17 boiler...

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      ....or possibly a K4?

    2. Frappington Jct

      Frappington Jct

      But a K4 doesn't fit my layout...

       

      But does share a footplate with the K3

  15. Frappington Jct

    Decisions decisions decisions

  16. Frappington Jct

    Doesn't feel very well :(

  17. Frappington Jct

      Some of the players might find themselves at a loose end as a result...

      Yes great. I was in real danger of having to do some modelling by combining Bacchy chassis with Lima body :)

    2. Frappington Jct

      Frappington Jct

      Same! Though I now need money for 4 locos rather than three...

  23. Frappington Jct

    First 3D printed loco body arrived today (someone elses work bought off Shapeways I might add) and chassis ordered - very impressed and very excited to crack on!
