... 20 Oct 2007 03:54 from: rodney_hills I've been in the model trade on and off for 33 years, so the likelihood or otherwise of getting rich thereby is not lost on me! See for example: http://www.templot.com/martweb/go_hunslet.htm (1992-1998). Martin, By sheer coincidence I picked up a copy of the October 1993 "Railway Modeller" magazine at my local MR club last week, and there, also in glorious colour, your "Ready-to-run 0 gauge Hunslet" is the headline item in the 'Latest Reviews' section (page 472). The (anonymous) reviewer writes in glowing terms about the loco: "This super little shunter is really quite exceptional value, and represents a milestone in the history of gauge 0 model locomotives." Innovation indeed! I read therein that R.M. was supplied with the review sample by a delighted customer, not by the manufacturer (" who was pre-occupied with satisfying a considerable initial demand"). Did you you have much ...
... topic: 3495 85A Hunslet Lubrication posted: 1 Sep 2019 21:54 from: Roy H I am now the proud owner of an 85A Models Hunslet. From the quantity of dust on the body it has been stored for some time! The motor is trying to turn but it seems that the axles are gummed up with dried lubrication which now has the consistency of Golden Syrup. I read in the instructions posted online that IPA or paraffin seem to be the preferred cleaning agents so I intend to pop the wheel assembly out and clean it. I note the instructions refer to a "special grease" used to lubricate. I only have Hob-E -Lube model oil or their 'HL657 white grease with Teflon'. Is anyone able to advise which would be the best to use? I assume that being modelling products they are safe on this plastic? For information the wheel rims all have a light-ish coating of rust. I initially cleaned a small patch with a Peco track rubber with only light pressure. Also effective were a ...
3. 85a Models
... 18 Jul 2016 10:20 from: Cartaret Okay, many years ago I built a 7mm layout using C& L components I hand built all of the buildings etc. The Layout went out a couple of times, but at the time I felt that the please had come from the design and construction. Also I had a large H0 Austrian exhibition layout called "Prutz" on the exhibition circuit. I digress... I built a lot of 7mm stock plus loco's. But I also obtained one of the 85a Hunslets.. Lovely model BUT...The coupling rods no longer stay on the loco. Basically this is due to the fact the plastic inserts for the back of the wheels have worn out. Now I don't mind putting a new chassis into the loco, but for the sake of 6 securing inserts made of plastic I could save a lot of my hard earned wedge. Some Modellers have reamed out the wheels to take the Slaters cranks etc and that may be the next course of action. However if I can obtain the ...
... topic: 925 In an other life posted: 26 Aug 2009 18:19 from: Mark Hy Martin, how you doing Remember when you used to sell them wonderful 0-6 -0 Hunslets.... Well now that I have retired from full time work I have just a little more time to make trains, Dianne makes sure I spend some time upgrading the house but a little is better than none. My question is this; I am about to go digital for my layout control and am wondering if the Hunslet will take a chip. I noticed in the loco instructions you advise against the use of "variable pulse controllers" does this mean DCC? Does anyone run one as standard on digital any suggestions/tips greatly appriciated. You ever think of bringing them out of production retirement as I know I'm not the only one who would take another?

... photographer and then the brake would run gently down onto the back of the train, be coupled up and the train set off. This is quite different to a shunting hump over which loaded and empty wagons travelled. The book by Gerald Fiennes I referred to referred to hitemoor Yard at march which was a large mechanised marshalling yard withich had both a hump for shunting and a brake van kip where spare brakes vans would be put to be placed on the rear of departing trains. There were a few yards, I know of Hunslet in Leeds, where there wasn't a hump as such but a long inclined headshunt at one end of the yard where a shunting loco would draw a raft of wagons up the headshunt and then they would be released tu run down into the correct track by gravity. Hope this all makes sense Jamie posted: 3 Nov 2007 14:20 from: Phil Hi Jamie and all. Where does the name "kip" come from? Guess it's regional. We at Bescot called our brakevan sidings the "parlour"s- ...
... your graph paper, and I can sympathise. Hi Jim, When I started the Templot web site I wrote a few notes about the history of Templot. They are still on the site at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/templot_history.htm I didn't have anything like Autosketch at the time. In fact I didn't have any bought-in software at all apart from programming tools. When I wanted to do something I wrote my own program to do it. That included writing my own word processor -- for the Hunslet instruction sheets I even designed the font from scratch! regards, Martin. posted: 30 Nov 2007 23:13 from: Martin Wynne I wrote: When I started the Templot web site I wrote a few notes about the history of Templot.

... : Nigel Brown Hi Brian Have you thought of building a logging railroad to bring up the logs? Much more fun than a Caterpillar cheers Nigel posted: 8 Feb 2009 10:16 from: Brian Lewis Nigel Brown wrote: Have you thought of building a logging railroad to bring up the logs? Much more fun than a Caterpillar Hi Nigel, For four years I did work for TML when they were building the Channel Tunnel, keeping the Schoma and RFS locos running. When construction had finished, I could have purchased the Hunslet rack railway that served the adit for little more than scrap value. I did think seriously, but never did anything about it. Pity- a 90cm rack would have made an interesting 'garden' railway.

... and it was never actually launched as a product. The only ever advertising as such has been in the Scaleforum guide and on the RMweb forum while it was still privately owned, and that was done more as support for those organisations than as promotion of Templot as a product. I first showed an unfinished public version to modellers at the Gauge 0 Guild show in Telford in 1998, inviting them to leave their name and address if interested. Even that was not a planned outing -- the stand had been booked for the Hunslet loco as in previous years, and I swapped to showing Templot at the last minute just to see if there really was any interest in it. That produced enough interest to keep me working on a public version of the program for another 12 months, and a few of those who had seen it were frequently contacting me for news of progress. Chief among those was Gordon Ashton, and the very first copy (on floppy disks) went to him in August 1999 without any formal launch or announcement. Thanks to Nigel ...
... - the processor was running at a mere 1MHz (as they did in those days), and the maximum feed rate was only 5"/min. Which didn't matter for the precision toolmaking work we were doing, but would have been hopeless as a production machine. It was in full-time daily use for about 15 years. It's currently installed on a farm in Shropshire, but hasn't been used for several years. About 10 years after the photo was taken, it made most of the tooling for the 7mm Hunslet loco kit: 2_172235_490000000.jpg I don't know why Len took the photo. Probably no special reason -- he was a wedding photographer at weekends and often had his cameras with him. What I do know is that it was taken on a Monday morning -- our white coats didn't look like that by Friday. cheers, Martin. posted: 10 Jul 2020 22:00 from: Rob Manchester Hi Martin, Thank you, very interesting.

10. 0-16.5 turnout
... Thank you all for the suggestions, normally on our sister web I am suggesting ideas like yourselves and Stephen are suggesting, in this instance I will be using items I have to hand to build one turnout and what matches my existing flexitrack. I have found to my own sense of perspective, code 75 whilst it might be correct for the lightest of gauges looks far too small, code 82 being much the same in volume even though the Karlgarin rail has a thicker head, as I am using Pecos GVT Tram and the Hunslet tank (I have the Fletcher Jennings to build) plus I do have a couple of larger bogie coaches in part and to build piles, so as they are quite chunkey the larger rail of code 100 has better looks Its a pity there are not chairs which both fit code 100 FB but are larger than 4emm but smaller than 7 mm scales, still that's life Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.
