I think it’s a North Staffordshire Railway D class 0-6-0T in which case there is a kit by London Road models https://traders.scalefour.org/LondonRoadModels/locos-tenders-chassis/north-staffs-locos/ Third one down the page, pity there is no photo

One of the local bakers, Clark’s of Dundee does a helicopter which consists of burger, square sausage, bacon, fried egg and chips on a bun. If this is not enough they do the Chinook which is basically two Helicopters in one bun.

My bank lets you scan a cheque to pay in, might be worth investigating with yours. I also got a tax rebate this year by cheque.

There appears to be a problem with the website.

I searched as you suggested and also found this very interesting tool https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Photo-Etch-Bending-Rolling-Deluxe-Brass-Assist/193667227511?pageci=249e0e0f-2f07-435f-a443-07aa75aade87 “Photo Etch Bending & Rolling Deluxe Brass Assist “True” cylinders tie downs hinges clamps brackets & grab handles all with one tool.

Any plans for a 4mm one?

I got a quick reply. It’s a website issue. Hello Mark Thank you for your message, there appears to be a problem with the webpage for the 4mm scale undecorated kits. We have good stocks of the parts for the Slaters kits that we use for P O. wagons and these are all available as undecorated kits @£6.50 per kit (supplied without wheels & couplings) + £3.50 postage per order. We can supply the following:- 4027 Midland 5-plank 4029 Midland 3-plank 4035 & 4036 Gloucester 6-plank 4044 Gloucester 5-plank 4058 & 4059 Gloucester 7-plank 4060 & 4061 1923 RCH 7-plank. Please let us know your requirements by e-mail and I will then forward a PayPal invoice to you to cover the cost. Regards Robert Tivendale Powsides

You made me curious as well, I have dropped them an email will see if I get a response.

Why not prop up the tow bar on some bricks or breezeblocks, jockey wheels break and it would fit in with the ambience.

I take it 7050 was a one off and none were built for industry?

I would be interested in a kit of 7050 also if you were to go ahead. How many sales would make it viable?

It’s a beast of a thing. Any more info on it, when built, power output, dimensions, engine etc?

Hi guys This is just an idea at the moment and I am looking for your thoughts Could steradent tablets be used to clean tarnished brass etches? My reasoning is based on something my old dad used to do when I was a kid (quite a few years ago) He was a prolific tea drinker and he would clean teaspoons marked with tannin from the tea in a steradent solution, this wa very effective in producing shiny teaspoons So logically you might get a similar result with tarnished brass However old teaspoons are not made of brass so one potential pitfall is there may be an adverse chemical reaction, or the tarnish may simply not be removed And there might be a residue which affects soldering or painting What do you think?

Not much difference in loading gauge height the highland could build up to 13’3 3/4”. The Rivers and some Castles were built to this height The Drummond 0-6-4T was built to a lower height of 12’9”

If anyone has read “The Broon’s” by DC Thompson about a city tenement dwelling Scottish family they go on holidays sometimes to the “Butt and Ben“

Was the sawmill steam driven?

The LMS did build replacement boilers for the GSWR 0-6-2T and some of the Highland tanks were fitted with these. I have read that the reason for their early withdrawal was cracked frames.

Might be better off returning to the seller and getting a refund Those sides are not for a V1/V3

This might be an example of something that someone thought was a good idea at the time, currently on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372980883903

Hi Chris Have you made any progress on the Barclay?

How does the bodywork compare with the DJ models version? have any improvements been made?

Hi Arthur Do you have a list of what you have currently available?

How did you go about making the J78 Chris?

Rule one purchased. Brilliant idea hope you have more up your sleeve.

Is it double framed maybe?
