  1. Chaps, Just having my first go at rewheeling (gibson wheels) a steam loco (Hornby k1) into em gauge, using a GW wheel press which is mint, quartered ok, glued some extra plastic on it so the wheel would sit flat but still getting a wobble on one side, or and tapered the axles....
  2. Just started a subscription of MRJ and what a way, Tony's L B, for me it is a pure work of art and not a layout, very special indeed, now how do I get his friends to talk him into photographing a 2 + 8 in blue/ grey HST.....? Many regards and keep it up Tony Craig

  4. Tony, "I hope (mainly through the contributions of other modellers) this thread continues to be useful and even 'inspirational' (not my personal description) in the coming New Year. I'm astonished how popular it is, and how many look at it and contribute to it. My most grateful thanks." I think it's because you are a top bloke and always willing to help us no matter how daft our question's are.... Take care you and your good lady Regards Craig
