    It doesn't suit anything i model, but it will help to move some smaller scale modellers up to O gauge. I hope the Kerr Stuart and Minerva flourish. John

    Hi Ken, If they all went together like that you would lose half of your customers! Best, John

    You are being unnecessarily modest about your referrals. I have a V2 painted by you, and you made a super job of it. Best wishes, John K

    It looks a really great model. There is a small detail you might wish to consider. On all of the Tilbury 4-4-2s the connecting rods are mounted inside the coupling rods. On the rear driver the coupling rod is bushed away from the wheel by the width of the con rod. This seen nicely in the photo of 2115 on p94 of George Dow's LTS Album, in Locomotives Illustrated No 101, and is also apparent in this picture http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/lms/mr/kingsnorton/lmslocos/mrknlms236l.jpg It's a feature that is frequently overlooked. The same design of apparently inside-out rods can be seen on the MR 4-4-0 Compounds. Best, John

    Hi Sandy, This would look great in the pages of the Gazette as a series of photos with extended captions. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. John

    Hi Steve, You need Gauge O Guild Gazette Volume 18, No 11, Page 50 in which Paul Chetter describes fitting a Zimo MX645 sound chip into a Bachman Brassworks 03. There are detailed instructions and a parts list. Best, John K

    Hi Sandy, What material and size is the wire you have used for springing the axle bushes? John

    I have a lot of Tortoises under the baseboards all driven by three DAC20s from CML electronics. http://www.cmlelectronics.co.uk/index.php/dac20 Each DAC20 will drive up to 8 point motors and costs £65 or £8 per point. They are flexible and will do a lot of clever stuff too. The manual is available as a pdf download from the website. No connection - just a happy customer. Best, John

    The drop handle bar design was certainly extant in the 1920s - see http://classiccycleus.com/home/repair/bikes/ ...and the Southern Railway sign may well have still been attached to that building way into the BR era. Best, John

    Hi Sandy, Why the Pitmann motor? Are you using up stuff you have in stock? Best, John

    Hi Sandy, I apologise if I missed it, but how did you solve the window etch vs. bonnet height problem? Did you take a mill or two off the bottom of the casting? Best, John

    Thanks Ken, I think I may have to similarly narrow the back end of a Watford Tank, that I have started this weekend, to get it around some of my curves. Cheers, John

    Hi Ken, Can you show us what you did with the trailing pony wheels on the POW? Did you pivot them from between the 2nd and 3rd driven axles? Thanks, John

    Hi Ken, I think that translates as. "This is a cheap kit. What did you expect?" I look forward to your build. John
