Hi all,

I was just seeing if anyone has built a Gilmaur kit before or has one in their collection to build. I brought one and I’m trying to work out all the pieces as I think it’s missing some, thank you for any advice.

So I’ve been looking for some time in fact years trying to find a D & S Models Cowans Sheldon crane. I know these are no long in production so there’s very little hope of ever finding one. So I’m wondering if I brought a 4mm version of the crane and match truck, then take the info and scratch bu...

Hi all, Just have a question for those that build and run O gauge locos, I’ve got some DJH models to build. I don’t have a layout and so I’m only really building this to display. So I have the kits, wheels and extras except decals, I’ll get them as and when I need them for each build. I’ve just orde...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place… Hi everyone, so on my Showman’s Engine which I’m still trying to find a nice motor for I have another question to ask you experts. I’m going to install a smoke generator unit in the chimney, this is what I have SEUTHE NO100 and I’m using Dapol smoke oil. It work...

Thanks Bigmet I’ll take a look and send them a message.

Not to worried about the shaft dia as I can adjust the plastic drum that will drive the belt later.

Thing is the gear box is quite, I removed it from the motor and all the noise was coming from the motor itself.

Thanks I’ll have a look..

This is the kind I have at the moment buts it’s way to noisy except the rear back shaft.

The motor makes all the noise the gear box is fine.

Hi everyone. I need some help, I’m trying to find a small DC Motor for a model project I’m working on of a Traction Engine. So I thought you guys would be the best place to ask. I need a quite to silent motor that has a revolution of around 30-40 rpm as it’s just to turn the main flywheel via the el...

So I'm calling this done, the build wasn't a bad build but I'll never you Railtec decals again I didn't get on with them at all really. After the wasps decals the simple loco number and the side logo where even worse so much so that the original number I was going to use just got destroyed and so I ...

Wasp stripes are difficult to get right. The 08 does not have a flat surface in which to apply masking if brush or spray painting. Your method is more promising but as you hae mentioned... It still is not easy! I have a narrow gauge diesel I have yellow bufderbeams on and I am a bit nurvous to try!...

Wasp Lines added.





These were a nightmare the decal once softened all cracked so I had to hand paint over the top to hide all the cracks

Cab interior done I've added some decals from my odds and sods box which makes it look better I think. As it comes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51094796266_4074366c5d_z.jpg With the decals. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51094796091_51cc5f5d9b_z.jpg Didn't have the correct ones so I imp...

Chassis done.

Oh thank you Ironduke.
