Off Topic and onto Eye problems. Are you attending the Nuffield Center in north England about your Eye problem? They are the world leader in the treament of Macular Degeneration. I only know about this after having taken at different times, two fellow Austrians who went there for "Successful"...

I'm not familiar with English lathes. But can that hole have been cut to allow stock to be fed through the spindle to the chuck when into the production of multiple parts? My Wabeco CC-D6000 came from the factory with a similar hole but that machine was made for CNC mass production and it also...

How much lathe are you after? I have 3 to let go. 1, Maximat V10-P with three chucks, faceplate, 19 Dixon tool holders and inifinitely electronic controllable servo drive, 1 ph 220/240V 2, Toyo ML 360 6" swing with original pillar milling attachment and all spares and accessoriestwo chucks...

Hi Bazmak and group. Looks like you have had to learn very quickly with your chuck locating. And that someone could do that grinding to a chuck, especially a high quality product like a P-B. If someone did that to one of my Röhm chucks I would track him down to drop into the Donau (Danube to...

Great forethought. You are certainly making every cm count, I also like the coloured sheeting. Is that an off the shelf product in your country?

Hi Dalem9 and group, Thanks for your so prompt reply, I've often thought that 1/2 and 3/4 scales were harder to work on than the larger. You certainly have a great finish and sizing in your parts, Have done one 1" scale and some 1.1/2 locos. Here is a photo of my last. The loco is an enlarged...

Excellent workmanship in every Piece, Two questions please 1 what scale or gauge is your Lokomotive? 2 how did you derive your frame parts? Are they laser or water cut? for example. Russell in Austria

We are not far from each other. I am in Kärnten, Österreich. I like very much your motor, It is both a good worker and a not so oft seen prototype. For myself I have moved away from Damplokomotiven and would like to build the Maybach HL108 V12. But to find technical details is dificult. Best...

Hi Rod and Group, Yes, I think Australia has a more friendly import scheme than does the EU If I purchase something from outside the EU (eg China) and the landed value including postage cost is more than €25,- I then have to pay the government €10 processing fee plus 20% tax on...

Cogsy is right, in that they are not hard to make. But there needs to be skill and knowledge in shaping the tool to provide the approach and departure ramps on your gear tooth. Probably 50 years back when I was the apprentice modeller to my "Opa" (Grandfather) we would have made everything...

HalfTracks are very unusual since WW2 so here is a photograph of my prototype. Model to be in 1:5 scale

They are not in America but for Module standard gears world wide I have always found http://www.maedler.de/ to have the greatest range in sizes, types and materials, They typically ship the next day and will post or DHL to you anywhere in the world. I ordered the timing gears for my radial...

Thanks Cogsy, I worked very hard to find and use all the details from the prototype of both the locomotive and the two cars behind it.

Here is a photo of my Heisler geared loco and its train

Hi people, I’m a newbie to this group Have built several steam locos from 3.5 to 7.25 Gauge Plus one 5 cyl 4 stroke radial engine. Now starting on a Sd.Kfz.9 half track ex WW2 era in 1:5 scale. Am still chasing drawings and sketches but that is just a time thing. There is a prototype...

Hi Brian There are an excellent set of drawings available from a gent in north Germany, if you decide not to go to the trouble of designing your own. I know his works as I built one to his design myself. Jürgen Heinen [email protected]
