![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Hey Sam Nice to see you are still with clock making - how is it going? I recall the trials and tribulations of its construction. I've got my son and his partner over here from Melbourne for Christmas - a bit of a shock for them I think - from 30deg + down to less than 10deg and howling gale force winds ( I've just been outside in the dark tying down part of the fence to prevent it being blown down the hill into the road! All this coupled with heavy rain and flooded roads. Ah well I don't think I could stand the heat where you are - and we have enough food in to feed an army so let the weather do its worst! Seasons greetings to you and yours Norman |

![]() 175 forum posts | Of course it has a place here! It's just another tool (toy)at our disposal. I may not use it(yet) but it is something to learn about for future development. It's grand. Just like any advance in methods of doing stuff, CNC for example or using electric motors for lathes instead of treadle drives. Luddites need not reply. |

Of course it has a place here! It's just another tool (toy)at our disposal. Seconded! Here's one of my less complicated assemblies: I've also modelled the valve gear in 3D CAD, and will be using a motion simulator to re-design the valve gear, once I get to grips with what the valve gear actually needs to do.

![]() 337 forum posts 107 photos | Came across this earlier today, whilst looking for some files on an old computer, I actually started making this model 7 yrs ago, before I got into CNC at home, I have it at the rolling chassis stage, and with the motion pretty much done, when the new bikes finished I intend to get back into this thing, just thought you might be interested, I will though finish the virtual model first, I just prefer to work this way now, also it allows me to make all the parts from scratch rather than use castings, the ones used so far came from Norman Spink (I think his name was) when he passed, I still required several castings so lost interest a little, however CNC releases me from outside suppliers somewhat.

![]() 943 forum posts 10 photos | I am slowly modelling up LBSC's 'Rainhill' 3.5" loco as modelled in ME in 1941 & re-printed by TEE as a booklet. There is a remarkable amount LBSC did NOT design, and modern engineering practice would say that he didn't give enough information to make the thing. A better, more complete design is the Gingery version of the Haynes Engine:

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Afraid my skills aren't quite up to those of the rest of this community! Still, after discovering the new bath is 6" wider than the old one at the bulge and suffering from a particularly large basin and loo good old Corel Draw gave me the tools to try ten arrangements. One clear winner, but it means a showerproof window blind and a false wall (I have a 4" space in which to fit a 110mm soil pipe... at least i save the extra cost on not buying a new basin! Neil |

![]() 25215 forum posts 3105 photos 1 articles | I hope you have got a narrow bum, that pan looks very close to the wall And don't forget that you need to add about another 10mm to the 110mm for any solvent weld fittings and 25mm for pushfit, If you are lucky you should be able to hack off teh existing plaster behind the soil pipe to gain a bit more. At least it will make it easy to fit teh shower valve. Also worth having a cupboard set flush into the false wall above the basin with mirrored door. I started to sketch this out last night, 1/3rd scale Ruston Hornsby BPR J

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | That's the width of the cistern, the (bog standard ho! ho!) pan is a fair bit narrower. Because Pipe has to fit between bath and wall I have almost exactly 100mm less thickness of tiles. so > 25mm for pushfit, got me worried! Fortunately any joints will be hidden behind the loo or under the bath, except a strap on joint for a basin waste which will add hardly anything. I rcekon I can get an extra inch by hacking away at the lathe and plaster though. > Also worth having a cupboard set flush into the false wall above the basin with mirrored door. neat idea, although it will be quite shallow.

![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Neil Consider carefully - do you really NEED a bath? A few (3 or 4) years back I spent most of the summer in a total bathroom refit. I installed a corner bath and a corner shower (+ basin and wc) . Since then I think that the bath has been used, maybe, twice but the shower has been used at least once every day - and we also have an en-suite shower room which my wife claims as her domaine. I wish now that I had dispensed with the bath and installed a larger, walk-in, shower. With all the hassles of floor and wall tiling etc it 'aint gonna be changed now - but you may have the chance to reconsider? Norman Edited By NJH on 13/01/2014 18:47:02 |

![]() 4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles | Norman! If I didn't have a bath where would I read ME and MEW.? I would also like to think we are adding value/saleability to the house - and as a family I don't think my wife and I we could bear a house without a bath, although the youngsters shower 99 time out of 100. Oh, and as the dog gets dirty underneath, it's easier to bath it than shower it! Neil |

![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Neil | "If I didn't have a bath where would I read ME and MEW.?" Under the blankets with a torch like the rest of us? As far as dog washing goes though I find the shower much better - she just stands there and looks long suffering as the spray is played on her. Trying to put her in the bath and keep her there is like wrestling a seal (coated with vaseline) on steroids - she is VERY strong! What's more you need a wet suit to do it and a mop ( and a lie down) when it's finished ! Luckily though either process is infrequent as she has a very short coat - but as we are in the country she occasionally she finds something disgusting to roll in and then urgent action is required!

![]() 943 forum posts 10 photos | OK, not really models but model sized: These CAD models are of the Onoto 'O' series (also known as the Onoto 2000) fountain pen modelled from the August 1924 assembly & detail drawing retraced by P Crook in April 2009. The pen is made from hard rubber, steel (reinforcing rod) and gold (nib) only. I have several of the longer version of the pen in full working order 90 years on. The longer version was called the 'N' or '3000'. In cross section: Hope this is of interest. Regards, Richard. |
