Thank you to all for the suggestions on how to deal with the relieving slots in the fold lines. Now for the next question... There are door handles, commode...
Hi Andy, A useful dodge I have used is to make the ironwork from BLACK plasticard. Once its its all done, paint the wagon BEFORE adding the boltheads. When...
Dave, Thanks - good idea. Trouble is I have a good stock of Evergreen and it's all white! At least they still do 5 thou' which is perfect for capping strips...
Hello John. I was with NU a few years ago, and moved to another insurer because they removed the cover to drive another vehicle under 3rd party cover, from the...
Hi Chris, Yes, so do I, and they tried it on me last year. I battled with them, saying I would go elsewhere, and they re-instated it and sent me an amended...
Graham, I picked up a tip from this forum or the Gauge O Guild forum to try Copydex to mask Handrails and Handles, it worked a treat. Just remember to make...
Dave, Andy, I've just done something like twenty feet of rivets on plasticard for various NG tank wagons. I cannot rivet Evergreen or Slater's strip without ...
Frank, I don't attempt to rivet the strips, but stick them on first. I make the "rivets" in a bit of scrap 10 thou' styrene (loads of them) with one of George...
Graham, It rather depends on how you are going to line your coach. I have recently completed a couple of LMS Stanier Period III which should have been...
John I do not know of anything other than the device that Ken mentions that was with Tech. Comm. test gear. I was keeper of this but it moved on. It may be in...

I tend now to leave the brass door and grabhandles off the model- both brass and plastic bodied- until after painting and lining. I do make sure that the...
I recall a couple of postings referring to an American company who produces cast bolt heads in various sizes. I thought I had stored the information away for...

... Grandt Line. http://www.grandtline.com/ They're on the Guild trader web site list. I would expect model shops that specialise in AMerican modelling would ...
What`s with all this `riveting` styrene strips! Lets have some real effort here chaps-track pins or similar and pre-drilled brass strips! ... From: Andy...
... And I would expect their international shipping to be very inexpensive. After seeing their name in the Gazette, I recently bought some bits from them....
... Yes. I live in the US these days and most decent shows have a dealer who sells them, so I always have enough. International air postage is still fairly...
Hi Graham, You're right about the handles interfering with the lining process. All my new carriages are sent for painting and lining before the handles and...
Sandy, Two types of nut/bolt Grandtline, plastic, huge range. As far as I know no-one in the UK stocks all of it, but the biggest range (possibly in Europe) is...
