Hi Jeff, The Acme is a good kit but to put the Hachette boiler on it no it would need a lot of hacking as the chassis is three parts. Ray.

Hi All,Been looking at this A4 it is a bit pricey but if you do not want to pay out for a complete kit it is the best way to make one.Has anyone tried the old Acme model,I bought one of the last ones sold by Acme before it was sold it cost me £290 a couple of years ago but you had to roll the boiler in different parts and solder them instead of a casting.

Hi Pete, Looks good. Ray. -
Hi All, Just found this topic and I have seen a keyway put into a shaft on a lathe. The power was isolated on the lathe, the gears were locked, the toolbit was put in the cross slide and then you make your keyway on your long slide. Have also seen drill put in the cross slidewith endmill put in and used on long slide. I must say that the attachment holding the drill was made and bought for the job. Ray.

Hi Pete, Had a go at a ACE loco it was a A2 Peppercorn, in the end I gave up everything needed extra work on it, William the owner of ACE is quite helpful but it does not help all the messing about. At the moment I am doing a ACME A4 quite interesting. But your kit is looking good keep at it, Are you in a club I am in the Gauge O Guild which is quite helpful. Ray.
