Hi Allan,

Glad to have you back with us and hope you are well.
Nice to see this article has re-appeared just at the right time for you as well. Hope it is of help to you. These are really easy devices to make, as the original instructions will show, the video link I posted above really shows how easy it is.

Regards.......Mark.

Hi Mark.
I made it and it seems to work ok, but I don't have any more plastic sheets to play with. I live in the country and the nearest model shop is in Yarmouth which is a fair way for me and parking is a problem there too.
I've been into all types of modelling in my time but always had great interest in railways. I have live steam Gauge 1 as my main interest, but I also have a 5 inch coal fired live steam ride-behind which gets more difficult for me as I get older.
I worked as a freelancemodeller at one time a long while back now.
You might be interested to know that I have just converted the radio in my Gauge 1 live steam S3/6 locomotive and she now sports a DX6i rig. Brilliant and I'm very pleased with the way that system works.
RIght now though, I am interested to see what I can do with the vacuum former. I'm lucky in that I have a proper vacuum pump from many years ago - I knew it would come in useful one day, <g>.
Thanks for letting me into your group.
See you,
Allan
