Could it be IP Engineering. This page is for chassis and bogies http://www.ipengineering.co.uk/page104.html

Mick, Thanks for the comment. Looked at your photos from from NG South. The railway snaking through the forest was an inspiration whilst riding the train at Amberly. Graham had always wanted to build a wooden bridge with bents. Thats why it's on the curve, bent bents! We realised that the problem of...

After many years of existance Fareham and District MRC O9 layout Watt Estate features in Railway Modeller this month. Thats the inset picture in the corner. Its about 10 years since this was started and has continued to grow slowly. If I can manage to extract my digit there should be 2 new scenes, m...

To straighten copper wire, I draw it across the curved surface of a piece of dowel a few times, applying a little pressure with my thumb to make the wire follow the contour. Actually the hardwood handle of a chisel. Doing this a few times creates enough work to harden the wire and by carefully rotat...

Wow!
Is that now real moss on the roof?

One more question, you say in the text to the diagram that the pinion from Squires has been modified. What modification did you make?

Ian

A thought. If you were to arrange a cross hatched pattern on the glueable surface of the 3d printed components. The grooves being a dovetailed cross-section, that is wider at the bottom than at the surface, and used an epoxy resin glue this would achieve a mechanical bond as well as the glue bond. Ian

Gerry,

Think you had a typo there, shouldn't it be Little Introspection device?

Ian

Got a similar phone call at work last week. Told them it was a business number thay called, got an apologgy and they hung up.

Ian

Barry,

Love the Toby paint job. Could you offer some explanation of how you achieved the wood effect?

Regrds,

I usually clean up using Cif or a supermarkets own cream bath cleaner with an old toothbrush. Squirt a bit on the brush and give the surface a good scrub. This seems to remove any release agent and slightly abrade the surface providing a good key. Then just rinse under the tap and dry with a clean p...

String!

Something a little finer surely. At least then you can say "It's driven by Fred"

Like the Christmas decoration, you could add a few glass balls made from metallic beads. Oh and a Christmas tree with tinsel, lights, glass balls and little parcels underneath and ..............

No don't take me away!!!

My two pennath. From an engineering perspective, trained in Civil Engineering longer ago than I care to remember. A member in tension equires no lateral support as ther is no tendancy to bow. A member in compression requires some form of lateral support to prevent bowing. This is either provided by ...

If the artwork on the boat is to be in panels, especially with beading around the edge. How about, designing it with something like Microsoft Powepoint and getting it printed on photographic paper using a laser printer at the local printshop.

4) use a piece of brass tube 1.5mm id and 2.0mm od. (Eileens Emporium, your local model shop or someone on here can post you a piece)

Think I have some but am just procrastinating from some homework at the moment.

Ian

That rocks!!!

Hi, Just on word of warning, don't rely on glue to attach anything to the sides of the twigs. I did and within a week the bark seperated from the underlying wood and now I have a pile of sticks again. The next task is to rebuild the frame drilling small holes at the joints and nailing the sticks tog...

That would be primrose, then.

Where's the birdie? In the tree.

Or paint it green and call it Mentha.

Don't know what you have used to glue the net down with, but plasticard solvent will soften PVA glue. Please don't ask how I know.

Ian

You might try sanding the back of the thicker ones with a piece of rough sandpaper first, may help to thin the rogue ones a bit.
