Hello Bill, Good question!. I'm not sure of the answer but I seem to recollect that the early panniers had a vent that slid to one side rather than the normal...
Graham That'll be interesting. I've had a quick shufty in the RCTS book, but although it lists some cab detail changes for the 87xxs (but not roof shutters) I...
Bill. If you have the Collet & Hawksworth Locomotives book by Brian Haresnape, then on page 56 bottom picture you will see a good roof shot of 5788 double...
Hi everyone, I am currently constructing 12 baseboards for my clubs first layout. Would you think it advisable to treat the boards before track laying etc....
In my view the most important features of baseboard construction is the weight. It needs to be as light as possible but with suitable bracing so that is cannot...
Fred Thanks for that. It wasn't something I'd even thought about before I saw Graham's picture! Do you think that was standard practise or just fairly isolated...
... We've been here before, methinks. Like you, I use a plywood top (half inch) and 1 inch by 3 inch softwood framing around the outside. My boards are 4 feet...
I suggest you treat the whole lot with clear Cuprinol, and sit them in the sun to dry. Don't varnish one side and not the other, as the humidity rises the...
... Graham Feed the output through a series of 4 or 5 diodes, each one will drop the voltage around 1.2 volts. (If you are converting to DC through a bridge...
If the power ratings required are not excessive then just use a series resistor of suitable value and power rating and make sure that it is protected from ...
Hi Bill, Photos looking down on things are not very common. I have about 40 pictures taken by A E West in the 50's. He specialised in the sort of shots...
On baseboards Consider at least a coat of white primer underneath. It helps illuminate a shaded part and makes the wiring show up. Do the whole structure...
I want to thank all of you who helped with my questions about the FPLs the Midland used. So much good info..., and just a tiny little bit of usless stuff...,...
Hi Chaps, Seeing that planning the boards for wiring has been mentioned, why not design your supports/legs so that they can support the board upside-down while...
Thor Note I said I was having trouble with the keyboard not to mention on direct internet access you never get a spell check. Never got nearer to Chur than a...
Graham, If the secondary winding is accessable remove some of the turns. Take off ten and then check the voltage. This will give you the voltage per turn ratio...

Bill & Fred, I have a photo of a 77xx at Llangollen showing the roof and its vent slids to the drivers side. If you go to my web site www.warrenshephard.com...
Håvard Very nice. Let's see it again when its painted. I like your photo format, what is the background? I'm also interested in the construction of the...
... The background is the view from my veranda. I took the picture in bright sunshine using a Nikon Coolpix 995. To soften the light I used a large piece of...
