7mm

I about to place an order with Dave Sharp for an MOK GWR 14/48xx 0-4-2T but I am a bit short on photograph information. Can anyone reccommend a good source of material that would be useful in the build? Thank you. Willy

To be released during the first quarter of 2016. For more info please contact me through my website? Pete

This is how I did mine very photo intensive. The basic strip down A bit of time with a fibre scratch brush The chassis had a large amount of plastic removed, angle brass around the edge and cross members, some fittings added and the fuel tank molding filled with lead More to follow Ian G

I'm looking to buy some nameplates for my DJH class 47. I need Isambard Kingdom Brunel plates and makers (crewe) plates. I think I used Severn Mill plates on my Heljan loco a few years ago and they were very good. ( See below...) Things move on and manufacturing processes change, so I wondered...

As promised a workbench thread to chart the kits I am working on since skipping a gauge and going to 0 Gauge Excuse the state of the work area, I do know which kit each part belongs to. So we have three kits here. I will cover each in turn M&M Lowmac My initial purchase to get to feel the O...

I have wanted to build an MOK kit since I first saw an almost finished build of this kit running at a Lincolnshire Poachers running day, way back in 2010. Anyway this is the FS version of the kit, a version in S7 is also available. Opening the box reveals a number of packets, icluding lots...

Hi all.. Has anyone here invested in the new very lovely looking Lionheart tank wagons? Im not sure from the description if the axles boxes are sprung or solid. If they are sprung, does it look easy enough to get the wheels out to re-profile to S7? Many thanks, JB.

Looking for advice on rolling taper boiler, I have seen conflicting items one saying roll as normal and 7an item which said they can be difficult to roll properly. Advice would be most appreciated.

A few new pictures and captions have been added this week to expand Kevin's Bucks Hill page. It's just a quick tour for the fun of it, so pop along if you like the layout. There are still plenty of aspects that could be highlighted with separated pages like signalling, and particularly the...

I started this project in geoffs 7mm Workbench, but created this new thread to attract as many of you as possible to answer the many questions I have. but first a recap:

Hello chaps - any news or photos from yesterday's meet, for those of us unable to attend please? Regards Dan Edited to correct date!

Hello, Finally got round to making a start on this a while ago and on some photos of Gresley coaches there is a horizontal pipe that runs along the solebar. Would that apply to this coach running in the BR period up to withdrawal? Alan

One of those satisfying creatures, a returning client, asked me if I'd care to take on a project he'd started but felt unable to complete. Of course, I agreed. After a spot of negotiation, I was entrusted with a large box containing an almost complete Churchward 4200 class 2-8-0T, hailing from...

Well, I've finally taken the plunge into P48 for my US O scale. Next stop Anorak Central. I've had a Red Caboose GP9 floating around for a few years and whist clearing out unwanted HO stuff I looked at the GP9 which which promptly whispered 'build me next'. After checking the kit I found the...

This is another personal project to fill some space on my demonstration table. I've had this Scorpio Models Crocodile G 35 ton Trolley in the stash for some years, so I thought it might make a pleasant build for a weekend. My aim is to produce a somewhat weatherbeaten example in BR service late...

Prompted by Ripper's 8' layout in 7mm, here are a few pictures of mine. It's 8' long but only 2' wide. It is fully wired but has become a diorama. The goods shed is one just up the road from me but as I had copies of the original drawings, I didn't bother visiting the site. Part way through...

[ Posts copied from Brushes Laser Cutting Workbench for completeness - Adrian ] Hi Phil, can you give us some idea of the modular dimensions for the warehouse and also if you intend to add a part low relief roof and parapet. I am thinking of making up something like this [see photo]...

Well, prevarication over - wood has been cut and the first track is laid and wired up on the first 2 of 4 boards. The 'layout' is a shed scene in the late 50s/early 60s and is basically somewhere to get all my locos out. If anyone is looking for 54E let me tell you now you will not find it on...

My next 7mm build will be the Gladiator Scottish Director. I have just started by cutting out the cab glazing - much easier to do when the etches are still on the fret, but a job I usually forget to do - and have fitted crankpins and blackened the wheels. No pictures of these, but in true Blue...
