Hi Chris Firstly, member 40F has everything exactly right - Tuesday evening, 7:30 onwards, Clevedon craft centre. We'd love to see you there, we meet in Unit 10 - this is upstairs from Daisy Lane the florist. And secondly, I can only apologise that something must have gone wrong with the email delivery system. I'm the guy that ends up with these things and I've seen nothing for a while in there from our website. I will of course get this checked out. Ian

Hi again Barnaby I hope that my comments helped, and I'm glad you managed to get the motor sorted out. As you may gather, my Class 20 is my first direct experience with JLTRT and I've been giving it a great deal of planning and checking before doing any actual building... If your builder starts putting photos up on this website, could you please put a link to it on here? ATB Ian

Hi Barnaby Ohhhh - good! A JLTRT Class 20 build! - *this* is going to be interesting. I am about half-a-paragraph ahead of you in building exactly this kit, I've been giving my kit a good coat of looking-at and thinking-at for about a month now, so I haven't got very far yet. Two things to start with, if I may. 1) make sure that in your kit the bogie inners that have been supplied are the right ones for that kind of motor/gearbox combo - the ones in my kit were for the MM1 motor/worm type where the motor bolts directly onto the bogie inner. When I contacted JLTRT about this, Laurie was happy to send me some of the other type, the ones with a big square hole in them, provided that I returned the ones that I have. However.. 2) During the same conversation he said 'Make sure you get the GB14S as there isn't really room in there for the standard GB14. I have no proof of this, and would really love to get your feedback please? regards Ian
