Thread: slag build up on fire grate
24/08/2010 21:40:36
No-one has commented but I would change my coal. I had a similar problem many years ago and my ever inventive wife was going by the watercress line and she went into the yard and scrounged a tesco bag of coal. After smashing it into our size it was perfect. Horrible yellow smoke, sulphur smell and all crowd said Ooooh just like it used to be!!!!!  No slag though!

Thread: Which Milling Machine?

Dear All
 
Many thanks for your thoughts, very useful. Yes will keep the Fobco and yes will go and feel and  touch perhaps even try one and `   like the square column argument. Most useful and thanks!

Dear Bogs
 Very envious of your 836. My budget is more 16V/ 20V. However from your comments I think you approve of the Chester quality. My next step is to go and actually kick the tyres!!!
Thanks
david
 
And Norman, just might keep the drill!!

Lovely piece of kit. Will watch for one but seems to be quite rare. Thanks anyway, we have a start as to standards!!
Cheers David
Thread: Don Young 0-6-0 "Aspinal"
21/08/2010 21:47:14
Hi  & Thanks
I have acquired all of LLAS, via Ebay of course, and no mention of the 0-6-0, John, you are spot on.
I found a vague refernce to 'live Steamers'  somewhere  but the trail is dead. John (2) you are right, this lends itself to fabrication and I have a jig for the end bit but until I get a milling machine - URRRGGGHHH. I am just bloody awful at filing!!!
Thanks David
Lets see what someone else comes up with!
Thread: Which Milling Machine?
21/08/2010 10:51:44
Hi
I know this could be a piece of string question but let me add that I work in 5" and on smaller engines at that, 0-6-0's. I have an ML10 that works for 95% of what I have to make and can get the bigger bits made by friends with super 7s.
I think I am right in assuming that my lathe needs to be complemented with a sturdy milling machine so I will want to go a bit up the scale here without going too industrial. The more I compare the specs of what seems to be on offer, the more I get confused so I thought I would seek the views of you experts.
Budget will probably be around £750 but could be persuaded higher by a good case.   I will of course get right of my Fobco 1/2" drill in the process. Bench mounted would be useful but on a stand will not be a show stopper. Have read about 'backlash' a lot  and would prefer a decent machine rather than a poor one that will plague me, the user, who is not 'died in the wool' engineer!!!!
Right, over to you experts and many thanks, in advance, for any thoughts or experiences.
Cheers David

Can anyone help me find the write up for the Don Young Aspinal 0-6-0 tender loco in 5". searched everywhere with no luck. I think Curley may have done it!
And how does one make those tender brake hanges without going bonkers!
 
Many thanks
