Re: Image Test Post

That is more like it though it seems it only works with 'landscape' images not 'portrait'

Re: Winsons

I once had a drive of a superb one at Stafford Club, I was stunned when he said it started life as a kit, couldn't fault it. If you can put some PTFE valve heads in it that seems to be the one thing that people say makes the biggest difference in performance along with opening up the outlet from the...

Re: Winsons

Hi Ben, I think you will find that as per full size, the cylinders for the 9F and Brit are the same, in which case this chap at: http://www.britanniabuilder.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; seems to have overcome many of the issues with cylinders and the like and has end...

Re: 5" Gauge Manor Overhaul

Not long after making my last post on here another engine came my way at a sensible price, considering the level of work required to the Manor to get it back in tip top condition, and with the modifications I would like to make to it, the Manor has been set to one side for a couple of months whilst ...

The pictures can be found here: http://www.flickr.co...
