Plus 1 for Captain Tolley. Also useful for boats and showers etc, as long as the surfaces can remain dry before immersion.

Hello Dominic and welcome. Do you have access to any machinery?

Brian

Hello Mohamed and welcome. What sort of projects are you hoping to do?

If you have any questions at all, just ask on here, someone is almost certain to have the answer.

Hello Stuart and welcome. I'm afraid that I'm not much good with railway engines but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.

I have a couple of parallel jawed pliers that lock onto the item being gripped. They are called Speetog plier clamps and they look like this;

The screw on top closes the jaw and determined the amount of holding force.

They don't appear to be made any more but sometimes turn up on ebay etc.

Welcome Andy, it sounds like a serious setup! I have an Alexander 3A but not used it in 3D yet. I used a cheap inverter to run the 3 ph electrics on mine. (I'm no electrician but one of the other members on here was VERY helpful).

I don't know how fay away I am from you, I live near Mansfield.

Double yuk! I'm a vegetarian.

Hello Michael, you are not alone. I was diagnosed with this about 10 years ago and have received the injections 4 times a year to keep the problem under control and, as you say, it appears to be just one of those things.

Many thanks for posting the link which is very informative.

Martin, gauges are usually made to be a push fit meaning that they will be very slightly undersize because if they were dead size you would need a press to insert them.

Brian

Hello Steve and welcome. Sounds like you are going to be busy (or held up) for some time to come.

Hope it's all sorted soon.

I don't know if this is the lathe in question? But it certainly looks similar.

Nice to see that the Clayton is still popular. It was the first steamer that I built when the series was published in M.E.

I made mine as an articulated tanker so that a seat could be attached using the filler cap to secure the seat to the tanker body. It ran very well with two persons on solid ground and coped with short grass as well.

Many thanks Luker, look forward to it.

Very nice to see that courses are available. Does anyone know if there are any in the Mansfield, Nottingham, Derby area? Especially for TIG.

VERY interesting article. Are there any 3D printing materials that can be used in the same way as 'lost wax' ? That is without the need for runners.

I realise that this would destroy the pattern but it would be easy enough to print another.

Hello Tom and welcome.

With equipment like that you must be thinking of making something a bit bigger than '0' Gauge locos!

If you have any questions you know where to come.
