Hi Phil, I purchased a 4mm jig and a couple of wagonmasters at the back end of
March, having been suitably impressed by the example shown at Glasgow. I've been
itching to use it since although work and various other modelling commitments
have held things up until now. Tonight I made a start on my first project - a
Eastfield models J37 chassis in OO. All I've done tonight is prepare the rods
for soldering in the morning, but I'm impressed with the adjustable axle
spacing. Years ago, I attempted to build a couple of kit chassis, but they
generally ran like 3-legged dogs. The jig looks like changing all that for good.
I'm impressed too by the positive feedback on these pages. Even for a simple act
like fabricating the rods, the jig looks like providing the two extra hands you
generally need on jobs like that.
Thanks again, the signs are very encouraging!

Hi Dave Without seeing the chassis to confirm things my guess is 1 of 3 things regarding your wheels that is:- 1 The fixing points in the chassis sides for the...
Hi Dave, exactly what I have seen as well. The problem is that, while all the mechanism of the tool is precision-engineered to keep the axles parallel to each...
