Hi all,

I've recently started building an N2 to the Reeves drawings by Don Young. I've searched the internet high and low for build articles or old publications relating to models of this loco, all to no avail. The name Les Pritchard has come up once, in fact I've seen his magnificent N2 at a show a couple of years ago. Apart from that no one seems to be building this particular model.

So can anyone help me, either with a lead toward build articles, names of other N2 builders, or even contact details for Les P??

Regards

Steve

Thread: Need to Anneal ?

Thanks for the prompt response.

Yes, it was the tendancy to warp following cutting out of axle slots that I had been warned about. But your reference to 'suasion' makes perfect sense to me, especially as I have no means of consistent heating.

Thanks

I have some new bright mild steel sheet (3mm) in order to build some engine frames for my new project - Gresley N2 Tank.

Should I anneal these sheets before starting the cutting/filing?

Many thanks

Steve
