Something to keep an eye out for in the bookshops. Days Gone By has gone into the magazine publishing business and is putting out a magazine series called...
Evan the fist one, a Kellogg's Bedford van was in 1:64th but the rest with the exception of the early Dennis P O truck are too big. The Shell tanker is too...
... is ... IIRC Lledo don't disclose the scale on the models. Do you have an opinion on which ones would be close to 1:48? (or 1:43 at a pinch!) Nelson...

Thanks, John, that's very helpful information. Must find those Cadbury's collectibles that turned out not to be! Nelson Kennedy Christchurch, New Zealand ...
Nao problemo amigo. Actually these days with the decline of 1:64th modelling in the USA, I concentrate mainly in the ACE/Bassett Lowke/Corgi/die cast arena....
I'm about to have a go at soldering brass to stainless and I'm told a special flux is necessary. Do any of you guys have experience you are willing to share -...

hi-I am in the initial stages of designing a layout. If a gradient is too steep for one loco does a multiple lashup make any difference in pulling power? or-...
Yep sure can, if you're using Diesel motive power you wouldn't want to use more than say 3 locos on a regualr basis, cos that's what the real thing does. If...
Yes, I agree, especially about the effect of curvature. I built a 1:40 incline with a 3ft radius thinking that was well within prototype practice, but I could...
Thanks Paul, that is exactly what I was after. Now, if only I could get my hands on a Fordson Major tractor? 3/16 of coarse. Perhaps John Agnew could sort me...
