    Ah - the boomerang things are adjustable cranks that go to the tie bars - adjustable so that the throw can be adjusted Compensation cranks are the w shaped cranks that mount on to two bearings - they convert push to shove or vice versa and are there to compensate for temperature related expansion/contraction Have you seen this web site? Cheers Phil

    Agree re the copperclads - very good for strength! but don't forget to gap them on both sides if you are going to put pins or screws through them - here speaks the voice of experience acquired from such an omission....!!!! Phil

    Cracking livery Neil! Used to enjoy seeing 40's on the N&W route at Cheney Longville just north of Craven Arms - Phil's idea of heaven I think, casting a fly for trout on the River Onny to the accompaniment of passing rail traffic... Phil

    Don't forget that the central nervous system has no capacity for regeneration. And that every time our cells divide we suffer telomerase deletion - initially resulting in structural DNA loss only but the older we get the more at risk our genes are... Phil

    We have one that got to the stage of a complete bodyshell including painting just at the point when Heljan announced theirs. Has subsequently gone nowhere but contemplating buying one of the currently cheap Heljan models and dropping the body on. Intrigued to see how this pans out with the mlv chassis .. Kind regards Phil
