Re: First steps.
Good luck Dave
I'm in a simular position to you having come back to the hobby after 18
years away. I brought a Masterchassis at ExpoEM and am looking forward
to building a chassis that runs smoothly!
I would like to know more about your etched part folder please? Could
you let me have some details?
Thanks
Steve

(rigid for 00) and yesterday morning, I assembled the frames themselves.
For the first time in my experience, it was a thoroughly enjoyable job
and everything appears square and true. Later today I shall fit the
wheels and test the rods for free running. I'm on a real learning curve
here as the last of my early experiments was 10-15 years ago, so I've
treated this as 'year zero'. I'm taking small, careful steps all along
the way, which means I'm taking a good deal more time over each stage
than all you experienced boys probably do! Having the correct equipment
such as temperature controlled soldering kit and an etched part folder
makes a huge difference too, but the jig is the clincher!
