JB my timber stock stored had been cut down in lengths to suit box making so other ideas would mean purchase of new timber and I am downsizing kind of.

Five boxes since last October, three of them the past two months now all given a coat of shellac sealer and hope to wax them tormorrow. Two boxes were completed last season with the table saw and the other three this year by hand and mitre sliding saw. (having to make them a little deeper...

Cozzer picture below is a piece of hardwood resawn using the 3/8" blade and it cut well without deviation on line bearings free of blade and back bearing the same but not pushed.

Age and energy is a problem Roger and my wife is almost imobile which makes life different .

On that basis have 2 1/2mm spare each edge of blade.

The tap is accessible and it was oked when fitted 20 years ago.

Thanks, OK I will have a word with EDF, although the meter change is not at their request.

So if they refuse the job, (last time the fellow had to place a rubber contraption in is mouth, something like a condom) they just walk away and thats it?

I have had visits from the water people, electric people and now the gas man, they all want to change our meter. First two were no problem but gas man coming in a few days and our gas meter is buried under and in kitchen units installed 20 years ago. They did swap the meter around 12 years ago...

My experience with bandsaws is not to worry about bearings, I just keep them away from the blade!!!!!!, the backside bearing is more critica,l perhaps you are pushing the timber through to hard, let the blade do the work?.

Very nice job, but not on my lists to do, the wife is 80 and she does not want anymore!!!!!!!!

Mark, that was a nice looking and handy piece of equipment for books in situ. BTW I think you must have had a unfriendly lump of sapelle it normally works OK, and your dinky workshop I think is super.

And get the tension right and guides not touching the blade. I have just reduced a 6mm thick mdf 1.32mtrs long that was 174mm wide in half and no deviation at all along the length of the cut.

Cozzer my experience with bandsaws is to get the blade tension right and blade stays in track on wheels, I set mine very tight (and release when I know I will not need it again that day) The bearings I never seem to worry about as long as they do not touch a blade and mine cuts a straight line...

Yes that seems the best route at the moment/ thanks.

Morfa, all the later versions I have seen are geared to supplying structures and running stock etc (and at a cost) whereas MSTS had a section where personal creations could be created and a personal layout was possible and not a train set.

Thanks Robbo, I have some old laptops perhaps I can use.

Was this the European (German) version didnt appeal many years ago, I will have another looks thanks.

I have been surfing the web re above and found this link, hopefully I will back to my 2002 lifestyle if this works. Building locos and structures. Please peruse and give your comments as well. http://msts.steam4me.net/tutorials/inst ... ts_w7.html
