Oh !

Emma (shocked

I wouldn't use the track rubber

Emma

How about https://www.railtec-models.com  ?

They can print in 3d

Emma

Me too!

I have "skrawked" louvrey type things in plasticard with sawblades before.

Typically the back end of razor saws (often the only bit that's still sharp) using a square and taking my time.

Emma

Bu99er..............

I remember borrowing a record player from the physics depeartment while at grammar school, so a bunch of us could listen in the common room

RIP Mr. White

Well....... I've just ordered one, we'll see when it gets here!

Hi Jon

 

A thought that occurs to me if you are contemplating scratch building a Yorkshire is to get hold of a RIKO card kit and use the parts as templates for metal or plastic construction. I haven't measured the RIKO kit but it looks right against my other models. 

 

Barry

There is one here....

Are you sure they're not timber? They look very smooth in clos(ish) up

Bestest wishes Gordon!

Emma

Comet (Wizard) do one or there is Kemilway perhaps?

Emma

'The Sandies' perhaps? My aunt Sandra  was known as Sandy by my Dad.

Emma (nowt to do with anything,being a solo modeller)

I wish you well Gordon - and all the best for a speedy recovery .......... you still have a railway to finish

Wishes an' fishes - Emma

Thanks for that Richard, Poppy's descriptions of size are a little odd.

My cat is called Spook and seems to run the local Mafia.... he used to beat up anything in this side of the village including foxes at night. He is getting rather ancient now and tends to take it easy

Emma

which Poppy jig is that - the mediun one?

Thanks - Emma

Yer... but you try finding a rule made of Invar!

Emma

I would start with 1K resistance EACH LED , possibly increasing that  if they are too bright.

Basically you subtract Vf from the supply voltage then divide by the current to give the resistance  .....simples!

It's things like this that make me glad that I chose Chemistry over Physics, but then again chemists have their own problems with a different sort of mechanics.  The wheel isn't off the track unless you look at it, or it is both on and off the tracks at the same time...

Oh dear - it's gone all quantum! (which I thought was physics)

I think that is a cutting shed. Those bays would be  stone in or out. There are some piccies here...

Power for machinery was generally in a power house or belt line engine house.. If I'm correct, there should be means to run slate (on railborne trucks/trollies) up to or away from those 'chutes' .....it's been a loooong time sdince I studied this industry!

Emma

Me neither...... useful huh?

Emma

Ah.... but then paypal , bank transfer or.........?

Just as a point of interest, how do they (Poppy's) take payment?

Emma

The only foil covered material I have seen is Kingspan/Cellotex which is polyurathane..........

AFIAK polystyrene (both EPS and XPS) come 'nekkid'

Emma

You're gluing animals to each other ?!!!!
