We are getting a growing collection of those odd little
things that you can't get anywhere else but don't really warrant a page of their
own yet. For now they will congregate here. |

Polirod
- Fibreglass Cleaning Stick
 |
It had to happen eventually,
the Polyrods ran out and we have been unable to find an
affordable alternative.
The search will continue and if we
find something it will appear here but so far the
alternatives appear to be something that doesn't work very
well and cost about five times more than a Polyrod did.
Any we find, and having stocked them
for years they turn up in odd places, will be sold over the
counter at shows we attend.

Testors Dullcote - new formula
 |
Flat finish Spray
This spray flat lacquer is the best there
is! I use it on all the engines I paint and weather. All
lacquers will dull down chalk weathering but this does it least.
Part way through several weathering jobs for customers I ran out
and found I couldn't get any in the UK so I imported a supply.
Its not cheap but it is the best there is.

Three Can Pack of Dullcote
£11.75
|
|
We no longer sell
individual cans, only packs of three |
|
Sorry but I can only ship this within the UK |
This is the new re-formulated version
designed to meet EU laws on CFC's. The label claims it contains no
CFC's but it smells as noxious as it always did and seems to work
just the same as before

Upgrade Bevel
Gears for Bachmann On30 Shay
 |
Set of four (4) steel replacement gears
that directly replace the factory plastic bevel gears on the
Bachmann On30 Shay locomotive. Installation required; includes
instructions. Please note that the gears shown in the photo are
plain steel for clarity. Production gears will be blackened.
|
|
| |
The
gears on the Bachmann 0n30 Shay are a press fit plastic. In
service they are prone to splitting. These replacements are a
press fit steel item that should last a lot longer. Fitting them
is a medium to tricky job requiring a press tool.
If there is enough
interest we may offer service where you send us your Shay trucks
and we fit the new gears and return the trucks to you. Get in
touch if interested in this service |

145' Solder
|
| |
 |
I use this as my main solder when
assembling etched kits and only get into complications with
different temperature solders and pastes when the going gets
tough
Pack contains 6.8g [ish], its actually a
measured length and is either a yard or a metre. Its awhile
since I packed loads of it and I can't remember which side of
the ruler I used

Solder Paint
|
| |
|
|
I was put on to this bulk supply
of solder paint by Alan Gibson. One pot will last a lifetime.
Just be sure to stir it well before each use as the solder
granules tend to seperate out if it stands for a long time
between uses. To use it just make sure both surfaces are clean
and the paint some paste on and put them together and apply
heat. It works well with resistance soldering units. I also use
it in the oven having assembled a chassis suitably clipped and
wired together I use the oven to heat it all up evenly and then
to cool down evenly
|
One 250g pot of solder paint £24 |
|
Pack contains 250g which works out at
under 10p a gram whilst others on the market are around 33p per
gram

Spring Clips
|
| |
|
|
I nicked my mums clips but then
she was a hairdresser by trade. What I quickly learnt is that
there are cheap and nasty versions of these available on the
high street of these which are decent quality clips with springs
strong enough to actually hold things. They hold firm but are
malleable enough to bend to fancy shapes to hold all those
awkward little jobs
