    http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/60w-professional-lcd-solder-station-with-esd-protection-a55kj .......... extra characters in the link from somewhere....... Ozzy, your link took me to a search

    I have one of these ......... http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/60w-professional-lcd-solder-station-with-esd-protection-a55kj , it seems to work well enough but it would appear that bits are limited to smaller sizes. Fine for me (4 mm scales) but there are bits on e-bay that I will be investigating.

    Could this be solved by providing a half etched line down the centreline on the OO version, and providing a solder on spacer plate with some form of positive location?

    I think the bent steps give a sense of verisimilitude ... a bad yard shunt/ clipping a wagon fouling points perhaps?
  13. KalKat
    Those are coming along nicely!

    Probably off topic - will this mean some new Bulleid (sp?) coaches in due course?

    RE the 'chocolate option' Yus, it is the tray that holds the chockies. I find it softens at lower temperatures than styrene. I sometimes use the leftover heat from the oven (on a tray on paper) a hair dryer, the iron (between paper). Localised reheating can be done with a soldering iron held close. I have tarped loads that have held enamel for more than 20 years. I don't know about acrylic though
  22. KalKat
    I've made plastic tarpaulin from the inner trays of chocolate boxes. Warm it up 'till pliable, then pull over a former.

    Ronnie....oops!.... I can only blame brain fade. Too much to do and no time to do it in, and titanium got stuck in my head :-S
  24. KalKat
    RonnieS..... Lead is far more dense than Titanium http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-gravity-solids-metals-d_293.html http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_metals.htm Lead is getting on for 3 times as dense. Tin might be a candidate though?
  25. KalKat
    Steel has an SG of ~7.8 , Titanium 4.5 ........ perhaps allowing for the air spaces between the balls, it's steel? Info from http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-gravity-solids-metals-d_293.html
