Hi Ian, I notice that you one a prize at Guildex with your Caledonian tank. What a lovely model. I think that the pre group engines are harder to build than...
Graham, What is it about pre-group and older locos generally that you feel makes them more difficult to portray? Is it that most of us never saw them at work...
I'm just reassembling a Tower Brass/San Cheng 4F after painting it for a friend. I've spent over half, as yet without success, trying to get the wheels back in...
Hi Bob, They can be tricky. I've done several Crabs and a couple of panniers but the last pannier came with the chassis ready painted. One thing to watch is...
Hi George, I'm not sure why they are difficult . Like you said I think its largely down to the boiler mountings etc. You take an Adams Radial tank a supremely...
Hi Graham, Thanks for the compliment. I much prefer scratch building pre-group models because there is a better chance of ending up with something a bit...
Hi Ian, Its certainly a lovely clean piece of work. I thought the GSWR 0-4-4 tank you had on the cover of the Gazette was beautiful. The pregroup engines have...
I like to think that manufacturers such as Bachmann do listen to buyers, as I suggested the Super D to them as being a large class without an example in OO...
From: "Terry" Subject: Re: [7mm] pre group engines ... And they've sold pretty well too. There are some strong rumours around that another pre-grouping 0-8-0...
Can't brand the Q6 "NRM" it doesn't belong to them. It's the property or "NELPG". Nevertheless it and a "RoD" would be very welcome and no doubt good sellers....
Graham, I wonder why Beeson identified the LNW 0-6-0T particularly? Ken Longbottom, who would never have claimed to be a top grade loco builder, was...

Hi All, You may (or may not) have noticed that I've been pretty quiet for the last few weeks whilst I've undergone a protracted move from the Wet West...
Hi George, Possibly because Beeson made his own wheels etc and the ones with H section spokes would be hard to make. Laurie built over 200 engines and to him...
Bob, All Timing cr*p as ever:o( My copy of the Gazette has yet to catch up with my current address, since redirection was to our temporary accommodation. I...
Hi Mike, With reference to the illustration in the new Gazette, this is the Graskop unit, of which I have had one for some years. I have nothing but praise for...
Hi all. With the current comments at present on the Swanage R S U, I take this opportunity  to ask if anyone can pass any views on the Exactoscale unit as...
I have had one since 1992. It is well engineered, safe and powerful. I have use it to bond LGB rails in the garden and to attach very small details to a brass...
If you want to put your hands in the fire you are going to get burnt my freind, oh! and by the way i see they are hinging standard class 4 smoke box doors from...
Graham, Agreed, Robinson's engines were elegance personified. I was first captured by the Scottish Directors in my early teens. On them the short Doncaster...

Jim and Fred, OK, got the point now, looks like one of those cases when I did not get the original email. Looks like it is for left-handed cleaners....
Hi...I've had an Exactoscale for years and find it ok....it has done some quite heavy work resoldering posts back on saxophones without too much damage to the...
