    Oh 'eck. My visit to scaleforum has left me wondering about switching to P4... if I'm going to add detail, why not go the whole hog? Time to browse the advice section me thinks

      Re-wheeling....whats on your list? For the average modeller with some hand skills its easy. Ran a re-wheeling workshop at scaleforum this year ..1st time ever.

      In simple terms relating to diesels... couldn't be easier than taking the shell off, taking the keeper plates off the bogies,removing the wheels, bending the pickups out a bit. Refit the new set, lube and replace the keeper plates. You don't need a set of wheels to try.....just remove a set from your deltic and then refit...

      If you go for it then I would put and order in for some wheels as "ultrascale" delivery time is 16 weeks (others on the market but these come with gears etc..drop in wheels). Time enough to practice!!!

      Thanks for the suggestions and tips. Sorry I missed your workshop. Wher were you - near the DEMU stand? I'll do a search on ultrascale and see what it turns up.
