In the fantastic article by Trevor Hughes on Talyllyn Wagons he mentions using a form tool from a company called carbide solutions. I have searched for the company online but sadly havent found anything listing form tools. Can anyone point me in the right direction to the company? Thanks M.

They used to advertise on ebay but seemed to disappear about a year or so ago. They were quite reasonable pricewise compared to Fohrmann who also offer RP25 wheel profile form tools: https://www.fohrmann.com/en/railway-modeling-tools/ Perhaps, as sometimes is the way, they have, or will, reappear under a different guise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. , Jonathan Wangler, Am Sonnenberg 7, D-64385 Reichelsheim, Tel 0049 6164 5180 939 The cutter in question is a Radprofil HSS MNRA RP25 Code 110 art no 121759750129 and cost 32 Euros If our enquirer has any further difficulties I will check through the back issues of the "Review" and find the description in the trade news section at the back of the magazine - there may be an email address. If the search engine is given carbide-solutions germany it will go straight to the website with some nice pictures of radprofil to boot." I hope this helps.

jc2001 Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 I've just sent Review 131 off to the printers ready for distribution at the end of the month. This issue has a large focus on the Isle of Purbeck with two layouts and three drawings of prototypes. We continue the story of the Anyox mine as featured in issues 129 and 130. We also have a look at hazard markings with prototype photos and techniques and discuss the thorny issue of scales and gauges. Finally as usual we include previously unpublished prototype photos of narrow gauge and industrial subjects. The contents are: Newton Heath Works - A 7mm scale narrow (16.2mm) and standard gauge Dorset clay layout built by Martin Finney and Mike Baker Fayles Tramway Clay Wagon - Drawn and described by Stuart L Baker with 1:32 scale drawing and prototype photos Hi-Vis Locomotives - Sydney A Leleux explores the introduction of safety painting on the industrial scene with prototype photos Peckett Locomotives of the Furzebrook Railway - Sextus & Septimus drawn and described by Stuart L Baker with 7mm scale drawings and prototype photos Anyox Mine - The Layout - Gerald Harper describes how he built his On3 British Columbian layout Chattenden & Upnor - Prototype photos from the camera of Paul Myatt A Way with Wasps - Tim Shackleton descibes his techniques for adding hazard markings to a 4mm scale SG industrial loco Goathorn - A 7mm scale 26.25mm gauge recreation of the 3ft 9ins gauge Fayles Tramway by Peter Hollins Of Scales and Gauges and Time - Peter Kazer discusses one of the perennial issues faced by NG modellers A Problem of Scale - David Hughes shares his angst Potters Bar Mainline Tunnel Contract - Prototype photos of a line up of industrial locos of Paul Myatt And the usual editorial, product news, reviews and readers letters John 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc2001 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 I've just sent Review 132 off to the printers for distribution at the end of this month. This issue is an American special. We lead with a detailed study into the history of Yellow Aster Gold Mine with its unusual 18ins and 30ins railways with mixed gauge track and slewing switches. The Maine two-footers are well covered by a new drawing of the SR&RL Baldwin No.24 and an On2 layout of a proposed and part-built extension to the SR&RL. We have drawings of the ALCO War Dept 2-6-2t in as-built form and as varied in subsequent lives on two French systems. We complete the story of the British Colombian On3 mine layout as featured in REVIEWs 129-131. We also present a new HO dock switching layout project based on the Santa Fe China Basin which was only accessible by car float. Finally we show some of the USA built locos that came to Britain. The contents are: Yellow Aster Gold Mine - Dan Quine describes the history of this Sierra Nevada mine and its 30ins and 18ins gauge railways, with prototype photos, scale drawings and plans Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Baldwin 2-6-2 No.24 - Drawn and described by Stephen D Phillips with prototype photos and 1:48 scale drawings New Sharon - Bob Harper describes his On2 layout of a proposed Maine two-footer ALCO War Dept 2-6-2T - 1:48 Scale drawings by David Pomeroy of the as-built WD version, Pithiviers No.22 and Chemin de fer Froissy-Dompierre No.9, with protoype photos Anyox Mine - Locos and Rolling Stock - Gerald Harper describes the scratch-built models on his On3 British Columbian layout Pier 101 - Stuart Firth describes his HO dock layout project inspired by Sante Fe's China Basin, with prototype photos Americans in Britain - Prototype photos of USA built SG locos from the camera of Sydney A Leleux John 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2001 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Review issue 133 is now at the printers for distribution later this month. We lead this issue with the first of a series on David John’s O14 Dinas Manod - the next station on his 7mm scale imagined extension to the Festiniog Railway. David’s layouts are very much part of an imagined world and, coupled with his use of topography (let’s face it not much of Wales is flat), imbues a real sense of life into his models. We also include an article and scale drawing on the FR Brine Waggon by Stuart L Baker. Stuart's drawings of such vehicles are often used by the FR Heritage Group so perhaps we may see a recreated waggon in due course. Further articles include: historical photos of the Purbeck clay railways, a fine 009 model built from a 3D print, scale drawings on the Bagnall Pampero class, some CAD modelling and 3D printing used to enhance an 009 kit locomotive, a fine 9mm scale model of a NZ Fairlie, a discussion about power pickups - a common source of problems with traditional two-rail powered locomotives, some archive NG material and a personal reflection on the life of Iain Rice, plus the usual jottings, product and book reviews and readers' letters.
