      What scale?

    When someone starts a thread that should be in the help section.

      What sort of "help"? Do you mean HELP!!! or do you mean, "I don't suppose someone knows how to..."?, sort of section. We already have the latter but I fear some (including myself) often need the former.

      Shouldn't this as a discussion and not a status update be in wheel tappers?

      Some just don't get it do they? They publish the material and choose the settings but then launch all-out assaults on anyone who shares the material.

    So frustrating when modelling a real location and you cant find a photo of a certain area.

      Sometimes, you have to accept, there is no photo. No one took one. depressing isn't it. But it shouldn't stop you from looking...

      Build it based on guesswork. Guarantees a photo will turn up.

    Already my avonside chassis jig has proven its worth, discovered one coupling rod on a loco was slightly too long, made a new part and now it runs sweet

      And promtly ordered some 3mm pins when I realised they dont come with it. Looking forward to using it.

      It is great, there is some things to be aware of. The pins have to be checked and tightened as they can go out of vertical. Don't ask me how I know.grrr
