Hello,

On the page labled 'Kadees for Mk1 Coaches', could you please explain how the sprung oval buffers were constructed and what parts were used? I also intend to use Kadee buckeyes between coaches, but I want a dropped buckeye with hook and sprung buffers for coupling to locos.

Thanks,

Rob Bishop

Thanks to you for the images on this web site.

I think that the point rodding is a work of art! It's good to seem some inspirational modelling in these days of 'RTR is king'.
The attention to detail of the model work throughout is exceptional.

In my opinion,to attempt to install the signal control wires would more trouble than it's worth - they hardly show up on the prototype. I have been pondering this sort of thing myself though. The most durable possiblity but still overscale by a factor of about four is 'top E' guitar string (available down to .007".

Anyway, I shall just be off now to put my layout in the skip and then chop off my fingers!

Ref the article on the Vanwide. The holes in the BR plate axleguards are for "horse hooks" as I understand it, not lifting eyes. Generall they were a handy attachment point for a rope when horse shunting or using capstans (as at bigger depots), particularly if the van was being turned on a wagon turntable.

Great, informative site and, having now met some of the CLAG "gang", I can see why.
Many thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement.
Hope to see you soon.

A useful library of hints and tips. The stuff on springy beams, ballrace tenders and spring bogies is top-notch, and generates all sorts of ideas.

However, some parts, such as the Ivatt 2MT page, and the variations on the High Level 14xx chassis are merely a form of titillation, and do not really take the reader very far despite being labelled as "constructional articles". I hope I am not wrong in saying that we want to see all the individual bits as they came together (as was done in the micromotor belt-drive articles), not an apparent dead-end!

This is what scale modelling is all about.
Cutting edge and yet easy to digest.

Top Stuff!!!

In the article "Assessment of the fit of a bore on a shaft" the triangles a similar, not congruent. Congruent figures are identical, similar figures are proportionate to each other.

I always enjoy visiting your site. While I model Canadian outline in HO scale, there is much information on the CLAG site not available elsewhere. I especially find your pieces on loco springing and construction very interesting. I plan to use some of these ideas to construct a small (by North American standards) Mogul in the future.

With kind regards,

Steve Lucas.
