Still drilling holes... Sometimes, in the right place!

Still modifying bits of metal... Occasionally, making an improvement!

Eric, if you put your reading glasses on and look closely at one of Jason's photos - the one just above the orange flywheels - you can see what classy occasions our shows are  :lol:

Does anybody know where I can get information on building model trams, I think the ones shown where 3 1/2" scale and I wonder is there is a web site for builders.

Thanks

Peter the guy who built the trams at the show has just completed a series in model engineer on how he built them including the sign writing for the adverts down the side of the trams. I have all the mags and can pass them to you if you want.
