Miss the good old modellers nights, although more gunzel chat than actual modeling was ever done. Great idea, I love these types of tips Brad Hmmmm I really should get back to modelling again.

A lot of years ago now Barry Dean - a well-known modeller in Orange - and I each scratchbuilt a NSWGR 11 class steam loco in HO. I wondered what we were going to use for the boiler but Barry had the problem solved even before we started the project. He had two brass tube-shaped containers that had once been used to hold the grease that the Army supplied for soldiers to clean their Lee-Enfield 303 rifles. They were the perfect diameter for the boiler plus boiler-band and there was enough thickness in the sides of the tube to allow us to turn the boiler down to the right diameter between the boiler-bands.

Cheers for the link Stuart, that's really clever :D Trent Wow, that’s amazing – so simple, and so effective too. Cheers for the link Stuart, that’s really clever :D
