Perhaps the moderators could sort it out for you. Please persevere with the blog the content is really interesting and above all useful.

Hay ho .john I think the reason that your blogs are not appearing in the blogs menu is that you have created the blogs and put content in the header, but have not actually posted a blog post. If you post your content as blog posts your blogs should appear in the menu. Alternatively just post your content here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Out of curiosity, In the blog you suggest that "Building a 7mm gwr panier tank in cardboard first get a drawing of the loco you are planning to build you can use a 4mm one by multiplying by 174 %". Is there a reason for using a scale factor of 174% rather than 175% ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardboard john Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Hi you can use 175% if you want it depends on the drawing I usually check a measurement on the plan. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
