Hi David. I always think that flux is like point motors, every single person has their own preference! This is the one I have been using for years.... Never had a problem with fumes, corrosion, etc. Its a paste so it stays where I want it to. Julia.

Hi David. I am trying out the new etched chairs from the association (1-145 to 1-148) so combined with using solder sparingly and giving them a good scrub with a fibre brush afterwards, I am not doing anything special really. Is there anything specific you are having trouble with? Julia.
-
Thanks Don. Correct, its not gapped yet. I thought for this one it had to be switched so might as well add a switch blade. I still haven't a clue what direction I am going regarding electrics though (spologies for not replying to your PM) J.
-
Well that was a bit of a challenge! I changed the design a little to reflect the photo Andy posted a link to. J.

Hi. How do you guys normally attach cylinders onto the chassis of a steam engine? Once they are attached they seem to make removing some of the wheels impossible without removing the cylinders? Thanks. J.

Hello. Has anyone got any Woodland Scenics (or similar) rock molds they dont want/need anymore? Thanks M.
-
Hi Don. Im really interested in that, can you tell me more about it? Julia.
-
Where is the fun in that? J.
-
Thank you both So something more like this? J.
-
Hi Maurice. I guess so? I don't know where its all going. I'm just having a bit of fun. Julia.

Hello All. Here is a nice Sunday morning brain teaser for you all! Do the checkrails look OK (I know some aren't bent at the ends) and where would the gaps in the rails and sleepers need to be on this one? J.

Crumbly Concrete! J.

Hi John. If you get stuck I could make some for you, there are plenty of people with 3D printers more than capable for doing them too if you have a drawing to work too. Julia.

So the figure could be more like £400k?
-
Hi. Please someone correct me if I am wrong but there is around £250k of funds missing? £175k from 41 creditors plus deposits from 178 people? M.

Hi. This could be the first issue in well over 24 months I could be tempted to actually buy! Missy.

Hi John. How about Maxon direct? https://www.maxongroup.com/maxon/view/product/118391 Julia.

Thanks guys. I was just trying to think outside of the 'CT box' and wonder if there was any alternatives that might not have been considered (hence the radio control comment). I recently saw a youtube video of a guy adding radio control gear to a 4mm scale (ish) car and the control components were tiny! I just wondered if the same could be applied to DCC ? Is a CT chip the smallest of the small or is it just the 'default' choice for 2mm modellers? Julia.
-
HI. A question for all the DCC fans. What is the smallest DCC chip available currently? Im thinking non-commercial and/or DIY products as well as the usual sources. Maybe radio control chips are smaller? I don't know.... Thanks Julia.

Hi Valentin. I am using the association NG sleepers for the purely NG track using the code 30 rail. I don't know what size they are meant to replicate, sorry. I do trim the length of them though. That reminds me that i need to make a track jig to suit... Julia.
-
It's a good point Valentin. I just thought that 4mm gauge in code 40 would look a bit too 'chunky', that's all. Julia.
-
Hi Valentin. I drag a coarse razor saw blade along the length of them. Julia.
-
Thank you Don. It is code 40 track (with the etched chairs). It does mean I will need to work out how to transition from code 40 to code 30 at some point though. Julia.
-
Thanks for the reply. I have indicated below what the dual gauges are. The narrow gauge is indicated in green and the standard gauge in red. Julia.
