Despite the ridiculous prices being paid for the steam crane on Ebay and wildly inaccurate information regarding D & S the steam crane is still available from Danny from time to time.

I purchased two from him not so long ago.

Impressive stuff Mick,

The coach body itself is one thing but the attention to detail in the interior is something else!

Fine job Dave, nice to see the finished loco.

Darren.

The Lowmac is an interesting one so keep them pictures coming, I also have a D & S Loriot M to do sometime this year.

Thanks for the pictures of the J26 also.

Thanks for sharing all your lovely work Dibateg, I too have been using the water based flux for few months and am about to order my second bottle.

I have noticed a slight difference in behaviour when soldering after switching from Carrs Green but once you get used to it its fine and cleaning up after a session has been as easy as running the components or loco under the tap with no ill effects and a lovely clean joint.:icon_thumbsup2:

I do find that the iron tip does get dirty quicker for which I now have a tendency to keep dipping the tip in the small amount of the water based flux I keep out while working and that seems to do the trick.

Hi 5XP,

 

yes that counts

 

I'm in Richmond, for my sins.

 

cheers

Simon

Lovely place Richmond, Im at Richmond at least once a week sometimes a lot more if things are broken.

It would have been my second choice to settle in when I came over here but as the wife comes from Harrogate and has family there still it had to be Ripon.

I was up for a couple of hours around 3 this morning pre this thread though with a sodding sore throat if that counts, where abouts in the Dales Simon as I'm off to Grassington and High Bentham today I hope it warms up a bit.
