My Edrig bash- long term!

Chronos is the place to go for taps and dies. They do a modelling set - 1mm up to 2.5 mm for about £20. I used them to clean out the threads on my Caradoc cos they was filled with paint.

Sounds good Doug, do you have contact details from them please?
 
Not forgotten about this, but a combination of general lazyness, a lot of uni work and, mostly, my interest wandering off as a result of winter dismallness (is that a word? It should be) has resulted in a total lack of progress.

However, an invitation from a certain Mr Gorton to go play trains this weekend has kicked me back into action. Ironically just as my coursework has reached a peak, but hey-ho! Bit of a change of plan (see the above mentioned lazyness) has altered the outline somewhat- also my soldering skills need practice so I thought I'd go with something a bit less involved, and with less structural soldering.

I like the way it's going so far, now I have at long last put dremel (that inherent lazyness crawling in again- it does make light work of cutting through Edrig side tanks...) to metal. Have to sort a cab still, not a complex design but I forsee lots of tedious cutting and filing!

Photos later if I smile nicely at Laura.

Oh, and it's got radio gear now- just single channel for now but the regulator is on the to- do list. The redesign means I can use the big servo I have (the standard one- ta again NHN!) for the reverser as the tanks aren't too small for it now, so the little one could go in the cab (although it's a bit big- small not micro, I may get a smaller one). It can stay as it is now though as I've got it set up nicely and I want to have a play. Impressed with the Planet system set- up by the way- a breeze.
