Thanks for your reply.
The piping is for a Regner Tram kit, from what I have seen in photos the bends are around 3/8 radius.

I have purchased a kit containing a small quantity of 3mm copper pipe.
I understand how to bend larger plumbing pipe by filling with sand etc, but how do I prevent kinking with the smaller diameter.
^Thanks for any words of help.

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have test run the loco today and am suprised at how stable it was. Upon checking the wheel appears to be approx 1mm off the surface, but after the test I may just accept the problem for now as I am involved sorting a Regner Vincents problem.

I have just purchased a Brunel and have discovered it is standing on three wheels, so presumably it has a twist in the frame. Upon examining the frame it appears to be welded so not a case of loosening a couple of bolts. Has anyone else encountered this and found an easy solution to the problem ? Th...

Sorry no longer of interest, purchased a alternative locomotive.

Great looking layout, nice to see a wildlife friendly garden, my wife wants to know do you have frogs in the pond ?
By the way good looking loco in the video.

Wanting to have a track for this summer I decided to make use of a number of scaffold boards I had in conjunction with a set of trestles. I was lucky to obtain a good amount of Mamod track to complete the board.

Many thanks for your advise and information, my preference is for plywood. MDF reminds me of MFI flat packs.

I am considering buying some IP coaches and covered wagons, and was wondering whether the bodies are manufactured from plywood or mdf board.
Thanks for any help.
