Some Places To Go. View my complete profile. Saturday, March 16, 2013. Let's get this loco started. A good chassis is the base for a good model. Extra time and care spent now will repay you with years of trouble free operation, especially with a steam locomotive. Tip number 1. Get yourself a container to store parts which are not immediately used. There will be some cleaning up to do. You can use jeweler's files to do this. Make sure there is no distortion around the check outs for the axle beari...Page ...

Some Places To Go. Double Nickel not so Shiny. View my complete profile. Friday, July 20, 2012. Double Nickel not so Shiny. I just turned 55. My battle with Rheumatoid Arthritus has been going on longer now than I want to remember. One month just rolls into the next. New issues appear and need to be managed and dealt with. The latest on the health front? Injections are working, cold weather has me with another chest infection and apparently, according to the latest examination, asthma.

The kit comprises everything we need apart from solder, flux, paint, decals and brass numbers. So what do we need to build a loco? Something for cleaning the whitemetal is essential....

Some Places To Go. View my complete profile. Friday, June 8, 2012. Four years ago, our family was involved in the World Youth Days in Sydney. For a week prior, we hosted two young ladies from Hong Kong in our home as they took part in activities in our local parish associated with World Youth Days. Tomorrow we visit Canberra, a new experience for our visitor and she is excited as you can imagine. The week has been way too short. And yes, our other Hong Kong daughter, is a little jealous.
