Kenjazz 7mm WB

Hi again. Just finished the Zeppelin and is now ready for delivery. The only difficult part being the buffers. The method in the instructions I did not like at all. Breaking two drills in the drill press before giving up. Solution, drill a small hole in the end of the buffer shaft and solder a small length of wire into the hole. Slide spring along the shaft, insert into the buffer housing and bend wire up into the slot. Job done, quick easy. Works very well too. See last photo to explain what I mean.

Hi. A very good start today on the Royal Scott chassis. Very easy to build and quickly assembled. The only modification being my usual 20 thou piano wire and elongated slots for springing the centre axle.

Hi Peter. Yes, the dummy gear is in the kit.

Ian, The motor in the MSC JH coupled to their 25:1 gearbox.

Thanks Mike. I guess it will be my Bulldog. I have a handful of other regions loco to build which are not really suitable on this thread apparently.
