Hi all

This is my first post after lurking for a number of weeks.

I'm looking for someone who might have one of the Kato models C58 or C11.

I need the physical dimensions of the drive train to use for HOn30 (2 1/2 feet) scale

I'm hoping to use either of these locos to model the Baldwin Prairie Tank locos used on the Puffing Billy Railway in Victoria Australia

During the last half hour someone has posted twice something about loans. Once I indicated Spam. Not too much later, the post popped up again so someone is watching the site and re-posting.

Below is a quote from Joe Fugate on the throttle pocket thread and I thought that is was important enough to have it's own thread so it was "buried" in the original thread.  When using any cutting tool be sure to keep your fingers (and anything else you don't want cut off) a safe distance from the blade.  When necessary use "push sticks" or clamps to hold the work in place.

"It's come to our attention that the video showing this pocket making technique demos hazardous practices using a chop saw.

I am very frustated by US manufacturers!!

As a new french modelshop (opening process in progress) I can't find any reply of all my demands about trade inquiries from them!!

There is a growing demand of US models here in Europe , ans especially in France, I want to be the first modelshop specialized in US train, they even take time to answer my differents demands!!

I can understand that there is a big market and of course i am not the only one asking something burt after two or three times and two weeks, I think there is a problem!
