Some years back to aid cold starting quite a few cars had 6v coils with a resistor in series but when starting the engine for a few seconds the resistor was bye passed this proved very useful in the really cold winter's

Fellow club member made a 'blower' using one of those 12v fans that blow up camping beds etc, he had a chimney extension if I recall correctly around 18" long with a smaller piece of pipe mounted at 45 deg into which he pushed the 12v fan this arrangement worked OK on his 4" Garrett

Clive I absolutely agree with you having worked for British Silverware and Anochrome it's my experience that chrome plating would have a base layer of both copper and nickel !!!

All way's a shame when someone dies, I worked in the metal finishing trade and had several large automatic zinc plating lines which I was responsible for. Every effort is made to avoid causing a spark but many a hydrogen 'bang' as led to brown trousers ​ on one occasion I've seen plating barrels with a couple of their panels blown out !

Neil know what you mean about people from Upper Gornal and Lower Gornal back in the 60s/70s I worked at Bilston Steel work on the shift I was on there were several of the blast furnace crew from 'Gornal' at times I had difficulty when being told of a problem understanding what they were saying due to accent and noise

Brill look forward to seeing it working !!!

**LINK**Hi John

Two loco clubs based in the 'West Mids' Kinver "link" and EWR (Kingsbury) "link" may be worth checking out their website or contacting the club secretaries . Another suggestion as your in B'Ham check the running dates for EWR and pop over ask the question !

Cheers

I used one of these to save my back and a 6x5ft trailer to transport it around, I modified the tail gate on the trailer to unfold making a 2 piece ramp.
