    The best that I can do is to suggest looking at http://ambisengineering.co.uk/Ax_3910.pdf This deals with the 4mm version - I assume that the 7mm etches are enlarged from these. I found that Firefox would not display the page so I downloaded the page and viewed it in Acrobat Reader. The drawing suggests that on the part outlined in green above, there should be a half-etched line on the reverse side between the two holes that are puzzling you and that the cradle is folded up as shown in the .pdf. Hope that helps. Dave

    Hi Mike I can't argue with rule #1! Cheers Dave

    Mike I'm not sure of the precise time period that you're modelling here but I think that the "08.00 - 17.00" style of time designation is a fairly recent development in the world of signage. In the days of black and white televisions and earlier it would have been "8am to 5pm" or similar. Loving the modelling though! Cheers Dave

    I'm a bit worried about that RSJ. It doesn't look as if it's properly supported!

    You are correct - Peco don't do one in 7mm. I suspect that it's a mis-identified Parkside wagon. Dave

    They're normally loan items!

    I'll email scans of the relevant pages from the current catalogue tomorrow. Dave

    As to why they chose the AC Cars version, there will be a number of factors - the availability of drawings being just one. As to which version would have sold better, I suggest that almost anything GWR or BR(W) is a dead cert to sell in sufficient numbers to make it a sound commercial proposition. I suspect that your assertion regarding the W & M version is based more on a wish for one for your own layout than any specific market knowledge! Dave

    I was there! It was the first real blue loco I ever saw as a 9-year-old.

    Clever stuff! I'm also very impressed at how you took the photo. Mouth operated camera maybe?!

    Good work Steve. Your thread title always makes me smile though. In the same vein, I think I might try 'Paddington in a boxfile' as my next project. Cheers Dave

    According to a post by Geoff on 29 Nov 2012 on the G0G members forum (Geoff Holt's New Book thread) Part 2 is all written and with Wild Swan. Final proofs were expected by Geoff in mid-Feb and then the book would go to print. Wild Swan seems to be a computer-free zone so things move at a rather ponderous pace - particularly when a book is eagerly awaited! Dave

    Thanks for identifying what looked 'wrong' and how to overcome/avoid in future! Cheers Dave

    My records show that BRM Sept 2008 has an article on building PD hopper kits. Cheers Dave

    How do you get that Deltic to change its shape in the second video. It's most disconcerting! Cheers, Dave
