Hi Everyone.

I have just spent the afternoon making up some trucks for a 16 wheeler K-Line flatcar. I used MTH trucks with metal Weaver wheelsets talk about a combination! The Weaver wheelsets I was ready to scrap they were in the Weaver truck frames and it's almost impossible to get them out they are riveted then the idea came that I could use them in the MTH frames so I junked the Weaver frames used the wheelsets but first I had to re guage every set they just won't run through my finer scale Marcway frog turnouts without "bumping" now they do very smooth, a horrible fiddly job but they work fine now I could have used Intermountain wheelsets but thought no I'll try and use the Weaver first and save some dollars. Of course the K-Line flatty hasn't arrived yet, next week it's in Singapore at the moment next stop Perth.

And the other job today was to put up some signs.

Roo.
