  3. wonders what happens to the soil left over when people dig a hole. Do they dig another hole to try and bury the soil from the first hole? :-D

      It's easy, you just dump it in a land fill site, or the sea. Then it's all gone away.

      You just walkabout shaking it down your trouser leg until you have lost it all. It worked for them in the "Great Escape"!

  4. is having a remarkable day. Another Will has been drafted, more clients are coming in, and billing prospects look encouraging. Even a Hobby Holidays jig is heading this way. What could possibly go wrong?

      The only thing I was left to do was steer the thing. If anyone knows what happened to VIC-plate "REW 669", I wonder what it would cost to ship over here....

      Unfortunately, it is hard to trace a vehicle via rego here as they often get swapped around.

       

      My guess is it either has had a quiet retirement, or was scrapped.

      Shouldn't take too much doing - just turn the flanges down (a lot).

       

      The treads on the ones I've seen would probably be wide enough to span the difference between OO and P4 without any further treatment!

      Can you warm it in hot water and apply it to a wooden mould to reshape it? Or are we liekly to see auction prices for the model go up/down due to demand. How many kits to make a good one?

      Horse - if you do get a second Deltic kit for spares, you must park the rest of the unused loco in a siding for years, until a preservation group asks to restore it to running order. They will then find that it has a missing nose end, so will have to get one specially fabricated in the former East Germany.... :-p
