		<description><![CDATA[For our May meeting we hired the larger room at our meeting venue and several members took advantage of the extra space to bring along their layouts.
Thanks to Nigel for the photos.

		<title>A First fs160 Turnout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a picture of my first fs160 turnout
It&#8217;s not pretty , particularly the moving tie-bar, but it is only destined for the test track. It was built to test out the fs160 gauges kindly made for me by Alan Smith.
For those that don&#8217;t know, fs160 takes the 2mm Scale Association standards and adjusts them for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easitrac Turnout Operating Mechanism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I recently built one of the ingenious turnout operating units developed as part of the Easitrac project. Whilst designed for use with Easitrac it will work equally well with turnouts constructed using other methods.
Although the design is relatively simple, the construction method is not immediately obvious and it took a few questions on the 2mm [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Day Out At Pendon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For our August meeting the group decided to do something different. The five of us converged on Long Wittenham to sample the wonders of Pendon.
For many of us it was our first visit and we were suitably awed at the quality of modelling.  I can&#8217;t believe there is many a modeller who could leave there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Completing the Terrier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The coupling rods were straightened and re-attached. A little thought revealed that the two larger pins are for the centre wheels.
I thinned the brake rods down so that they cleared the wheels.  The following photograph shows a comparison between the thinned side (at the bottom) and the original plastic at the top.

Assembling the chassis revealed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bodger&#8217;s quartering tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always looking for rough-and-ready ways of getting things done, often so rough that I end up having to do it all again, but this one worked well.  It&#8217;s only any good for locos with identical spoked wheels on all axles.

All that&#8217;s needed is a bit of brass sheet thin enough to slide between the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Converting the Terrier to Finescale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At our group meeting on Saturday Nigel kindly turned the wheels of the Terrier down to finescale standards.

There wasn&#8217;t much to come off but the result is certainly worth it.

You can see from the above picture how flimsy the Dapol coupling rods are! The chassis is fully geared so the rods just go along for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dismantling the Dapol Terrier &#8211; Updated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been asked how I got the Dapol Terrier to pieces and as it is easier to explain these things in pictures I thought I would put a few here:
1. The body is separated from the underframe by releasing four clips on the underside of the footplate.
2. The footplate is connected to the rest of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dapol Terrier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up one of the lovely new Terriers which Dapol have just released and I am contemplating the best way to convert it to 9.42mm gauge.

As you can see from the above I have already dismantled it.  The resistor block will be discarded and a DCX74z chip put in its place.
Nigel has kindly offered [...]]]></description>
