Bucoops

Never had any issues with using them, it's a very generous scheme.

And quite a few are now chuntering up and down the rails in Mexico of all places. As a die-hard LNER Steam buff, the HST wins. I believe two of the power cars are still the holders of the diesel world speed record?

Hung, drawn and altered?

Wind yer neck in!

Maybe. I just think for a simple 0-6-0 keep it simple and as designed. Another advantage of using Jim's etch and gears is they fit neatly between the frame and you can just tack it in place, and and as it's a single gear and worm pair you don't need to remove the mount once in place but can still remove the motor and gear.

The etch for Jim's gears is on the kit etches - someone has used a different one - is the original in the box? Jim sells his gears separately, I don;t know if he carries extra etches however. I think I would suggest getting new axle bushes and if possible Jim's worm and gear and etch and rebuilding it rigid.

Saab capitalised on it in the late 70s - after a run of rally wins they "borrowed" Donnington and gave passenger rides in the new Turbos. For a small manufacturer, they sold quite a few.

This kind of thing any use? https://hilltop-products.co.uk/international-colour-coded-heat-shrink-cable-markers-size-3-2-1-6.html Used them in a previous job.

Until it is officially announced, it is speculation. It may not be wild, but it is speculation.

It hasn't been announced yet - assuming the speculation is correct that it is going to be a DCR one.

For longer runs I use a Hold n Fold, but for short lengths (and many other uses) I wouldn't do without my "Bernard"pliers - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315517553029 That's just an example, not an endorsement of the seller. For this kit they have also been really useful for the lashing shackles.

Another glowing review for Dave at LMS. I decided I wanted sprung buffers for Ian Macdonald's armour plate wagon kit. I did have a crack at drilling out one of the regular ones with the kit but without a lathe or similar way of holding the drill and body central, I didn't stand a chance. MJT heads are a perfect fit straight out of the packet. I also tacked on some buffer stops to the order to bulk it up a bit. Superb quality. Thanks Dave 🙂

Oh it is worth the wait :D

What a lovely growler I have. Beautiful model - knocked it out the park again, chaps, and hopefully a decent bit of help for the HTG. Curiously I ordered D6700 before there was word on the HTG taking it under their wing so I have a matching set!
