Hi Team, Have now had some days "playing" with AutoCad Inventor and have several parts ans assemblies for a G1 De Winton type loco - live steam of course. I'm having a bit of trouble going back to 2d mode to do alterations But will meet with someone who knows these thing tomorrow. I have...

Hi All, Been absent for a week or two doning I don't know what! Today I have been soldering a PCB with a picaxe 08M chip to simulate a rotating lighthouse beacon. May get to use it in the garden railway layout someday but I really wanted to get back to soldering and then seeing if it all...

Hi Vernon, Thank you for your response. I was getting 'Crystals' and 'Jewels' mixed up - another senior moment! Makes a lot of sense now. Thanks. Cheers, Brian

Who cares - site ,sight - we all new what you meant. Anyway I don't have a clue how these pocket watch crystals are going to work as site glasses. Can you explain in 15 words or less? Do the crystals have holes in the centre or just a depression to take a pivot? Why crystal - why not any old...

Hi Tom, I suppose 1/8 is out of the question? It would be a really small bu88er, eh. I very much admire your micro engineering and hope one day to build a working steamer on a small brass thimble I bought specially for the task. That was years ago and no doubt it will be years before I attempt...

Hi Chuck, Still here, still following, still think it's great. Keep it up. Cheers, Brian

Hi Ron, What a hi quality job you did on this really useful lathe accessory. Nice work. I am going to cheat - I will buy a set for my C3 - I think they are about $100. Sets for bigger lathes cost a lot more. You saved heaps! Don't tell me , I know, it's the making not the money - and you would...

You could build a lop sided 0-2-0 loco............. Cheers, Brian

Could be laminators or wide format inkjet printers... Cheers, Brian

Our secret is exposed - bu88er!

Haven't tried mine lately as they didn't work when I came onto this site but after my innocent enquiry about the 'chat room' I was afraid to ask! Brian Cheers, P.S. Mods and back room boys do a great job - no probs with the people just the software.

I hear you. I want to change mine now. Same reasons........ Cheers, Brian the II

Hi Stan, I think that's the best idea I heard today! Another mod - oh dear when will I be able to get the mods finished so I can build an engine............ Seriously - a great idea and one I will get on with. Cheers, Brian
