Many thanks to you both.

I have a grinder so am well on the way.

Any advice on a jig so that I do the job properly?

Thanks

Richard.

Many thanks to you all

I certainly found what I wanted

Thank you all very much.

Truly model engineering is the friendliest hobby there is.

Many thanks to everyone for your kind replies. I had no idea that anyone would be interested in an old bloke's garden outfit! So I am just about to go into the workshop and do a little work.

Regards and all the best

Richard.

After 25 years with no workshop and not expecting to ever have one again I now have not only a workshop with a Myford ML7-R Tri lever and a Warco WS18 mill/drill but have just finished laying 88 feet of raised PNP track in the garden. Not just a straight as it wends it's way round the house via a slight rise to the far corner of the garden. Also, but living in my bedroom in complete safety and warm and dry, is a 5" gauge Meter Maid (the 0-6-0 version of Sweet Pea. I also have (on order) from RoR a Hercules. I rarely visit my local club as I am a carer and do not leave my disabled friend for long. But he can drive the Maid. It is wonderful to be able to take the engine to the track and not have to worry about being in someone's way and to be able to sit and drink a mug of tea and just enjoy life.

Sorry to bore you all but life has suddely become most enjoyable.

Regards to all model engineers.

Morning Brian and Lambton

Many thanks for your advice - I have contacted Smith and Allen and await their reply.

Darren and his colleague are coming down to service my Tri lever and I am about to

order a Warco mill - so things are looking up for this pensioner!

All the best

Richard.
