I could do with having an L&Y modeller to bounce my drawings off to
spot the mistakes.

I assume there's an L&Y Yahoo email list, but failing that you could
try:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lmsreg/

There are some extremely knowledgeable members on there.

There's also the L&Y society - which I keep meaning to join myself. Oh and
like Greg I'm also toying with the idea of building the iconic L&Y 2-4-2T.


I've received a lot of info from the L&Y society - I'd suggest it would be worth joining -
but how many societies can one join???

There are a few societies that sometimes think would benefit from membership, but think its very important that I should be able to contribute as well as recieve info. Dont feel ready to contribute to some of better ones (eg LMS) so not joined. Trouble with one or 2 others (esp professional) is there seems to be a core membership who are really into it and the others just making up the numbers (and paying fees).
Nothing here is meant as critisizing any societies, just criteria I use to decide if wish to join.

cheers,

Hi Simon,
I'm mostly German HO, followed by New Zealand Railways G gauge and am just
building an L&Y loco because I want one (or more)
I have sub-collections of Maerklin and Trix Twin/Trix Express.

I can't join every relevant society.

Regards,

Wouldnt mind the odd L&Y myself but as interested in LMS - LNWR and Midland there are so many kits and so little time (only 24 hours in a day :-)). Looks like got to get job in london so with commuting present phase of kit building may be curtailed although could do some fettling on the train ! Been a good run though, got quite a few done and learnt lots !

Saw some Maerklin from early 60's the other day that had been in someones loft for many years. Now understand just how good theyre models were at that time - fascinating.

Cheers,
Simon


Make yourself a "travelling workbench" needs only to be long enough to
carry a 150mm rule, 2-3 files, a craft knife, pinvice, a few drill bits
etc and a few film cannisters for small components. Ohh, an engineers square.
The box needs a top that can be cut on (plywood with one of those green
uncutable surfaces glued on with contact cement.
A small rigid chocolate box for your models and some photocopies of
plans/articles.
When it's boiled down you really don't need much to do 95% of your modelling :-)

Nice idea, plant to do some of fiddly, time consuming, none critical jobs like making loco steps out of brass. Make mess then can start again. Succeed and its a bonus.

Cheers,
Simon
