Ta shin cur booise da'n rannagh s'jerree jeh'n rannagh "Let's Get Involved". Ayns y ghraih shoh, ta Mike Ainsworth jeh'n Choonceil Scalefour ymmyrkey un wagon cemflo ain gys P4! Cur eh ersooyl, Mike...
Ta'n tutorial shoh er ny yannoo dy reayll oo trooid ny steatyn ta ry-hoi ry-hoi dy ghra rish y Accurascale Cemflo gys ny staydyn P4. Ta'n aght cheddin, ta mee credjal, gobbraghey co-ionan ayns EM agh cha vod mee clashtyn dy vel mee er n'yannoo eh my-hene. So ta'n red ta ry-akin er ny h-oardaghey dy kiaralagh mychione ymmyd jeh P4.
Ta'n obbyr ry-hoi 'sy toshiaght, er-yn-oyr dy vel ny axlyn ta ry-hoi 'sy P4 beggan ny s'hickyr na ny Accurascale, ta'n obbyr goaill stiagh beggan ny s'hickyr na 'sy 'OO wheels' as clipping 'sy P4 'sy 'place' oc. Ayns y lane elley, cha nel eh obbyr doaltattym as, s'cosoylagh, ta'n PCV P4 ry-gheddyn ry-gheddyn ec jerrey.
Sushtal y gholl gys obbyr, fockle mychione ymmyd. As y chaghteraght mie eh nagh vel feme er red erbee dy liooar exotic. Ta sorch dy holder feohdagh dy vod y wagon ve soit stiagh stiagh gyn dy stroie y bodywork detail. Rud erbee myr cradle servicing loco Peco t'eh jannoo y trick. As s'cosoylagh rish shen, cha bee feme erbee erbee erbee agh file sniaghtey flat (as t'eh ny share red coarse, er-y-fa shen liorish standardyn file sniaghtey), gauge back-to-back P4 as screwdriver beg jeweller ny electrician. Ta feme ayd er daa pheesh dy pliers beefy reasonably. Ta shen might soilshaghey magh red beggan alarming son ny ta ry-akin dy ve obbyr modelling finescale agh hig shin gys shen beggan ny s'anmey. As ymmyd jeh studeyryn, cha nel agh daa set jeh rollanyn wagon P4 3-hole. Ta shoh ooilley er ny hoilshaghey ayns y skeeal shoh.
Yn chiad obbyr eh dy chur magh ny couplingyn ry-gheddyn 'sy fabric. Cha nel red erbee nagh vod ad ve ushit ayns P4, agh ta'n screw couplings ry-gheddyn rish ny wagonyn ry-gheddyn dy shickyr ny share. Ta'n 'original' ry-gheddyn reesht 'sy traa t'er n'gholl shaghey, my she shen y 'preference' eu, agh, son y traa t'ayn, t'ad ry-gheddyn ass y raad, as t'eh jannoo y obbyr marginally ny s'easyl. Son ad y chur ersooyl, shegin da’n screwdriver y chur stiagh eddyr y coupling as e block ymmyrchagh as prize y coupling seose – cur-my-ner y pictur t’ayn. Ta'n coupling cheet magh dy h-easyl. Store eh ayns ynnyd s’saghney ma t’ou uss dy ghra rish y ghraih.
As t'eh ry-hoi rish ny rollanyn, t'eh ry-hoi rish ny OO-yn ry-hoi rish y w-irons ry-hoi rish y screwdriver ny rish y thumbnail. Ta'n wheels ry-poppey magh. Ta feme ort dy ve ard-chrauee ec y traa shoh nagh jean oo dagh red jeh'n underframe detailing y stroie. Ta ny loopyn-safety brake ry-hoi ry-hoi agh cha nel eh ny s'diuish my t'ad ry-hoi ry-hoi; t'ad ry-cheilley dy h-easyl, agh t'eh ry-hoi redrill un no'n daa thooill-mount lesh drill fine ry-hoi.
Son – shegin da - ta ny rollanyn ry-cheilley ry-cheilley ny s’faggys da’n jeh elley na ny rollanyn ry-cheilley jeh’n Accurascale, shegin dooin as yn room y chroo ny s’leaie daue. Ta shin jannoo shen liorish file y rannagh jeh'n W-iron ta mee er n'yannoo 'sy skeeal shoh.
Ta'n obbyr simply goaill stiagh y file flat as goaill eh s'easyl. Keep filing derrey t'ou uss ry-hoi 'sy w-iron. Handily, t'eh glen dy ghra tra t'ou er n'gholl fadagh. Ta'n underframe er ny pheint dooghyssagh agh t'eh er ny mhollaghey ayns plastic graysh shen-y-fa, tra ta'n streeu verticaal er y w-iron graysh – cur-my-ner ry-cheilley – as t'ou er choyrt y three w-ironyn elley yr un ymmyd, t'ou uss goaill y file ersooyl.
Yn red t'ou uss goaill rish dy vel ny tuill axle er-y-fa shen lliurit lesh filings plastic ta feme orrin dy chur magh ad my shegin da ny rollanyn reih s'leaie. Ta sean sniaghtey darning ny stick cocktail sharp ymmyrkey ny filings agh nagh bee oo geddyn stiagh 'sy drill – t'ou uss ry-hoi 'sy jerrey 'sy 'hole' ny 'sy 'doaltattym'.
Agh nish son ny roidaghyn. C'raad as nagh vel y difference ayns y h-axle ry-akin – ta'n P4 ry-akin myr t'eh ry-akin mysh millimeter ny s'hickyr na Accuracale – t'eh shen doaltattym dy stayrt ad dy rowl ry-roie. As cha nel dooghys dreeoil erbee dy dowin y bearing holes ny dy ghroghnagh y P4 axles. Son y red s'simpley t'ayn, she y rowl nuy y chur da'n axle Accurascale.
Ta shen might sound myr prospect scanshoil agh cha nel eh doaltattym. Yn obbyr t'ayn, ec y toshiaght, dy chur magh ny rollanyn OO veih nyn axle. Ta’n aght t’ou uss geddyn ad y t’er n’yannoo ymmyd jeh ny smoo na dty veeal as beggan brute force agh, my nagh vel, she shoh raad ta’n pliers cheet stiagh. Ta'n axle, er y taobh elley, er ny h-arrey as shen-y-fa shegin da ve ry-chlashtyn lesh beggan ny smoo scansh. As myr shen, ta feme er ny rollanyn dy heet magh ass ny axlyn P4 agh ayns y chooish shoh she ny rollanyn ny s'cosoylagh na ny axlyn ta feme er nyn obbraghey lesh beggan cooney.
As nish, shegin da ny rollanyn P4 ve ry-hoilley er ny axleyn Accurascale shen-y-fa thread ny rollanyn er y axle as check y spacing rish y gauge back to back. Ta feme ort dy row yn un aght jeh'n axle protrudes ec dagh cheu. Ta mee fakin dy vod mee breearrey shen cho glen as liorish tommys. Ta'n aght t'eh ry-akin myr dy vel glen-chreeagh jeh'n axle er ny hoiggal er y çheu-mooie jeh'n wheel agh cred mee, my t'ou er file plastic doarrit roish, t'eh ry-obbraghey !
Ayns y stayd shoh, t'eh ry-akin myr dy vel oo er n'yannoo snag mooar. Ta'n daa roid Accurascale as P4 er nyn skeaylley er ny ta 2mm diameter 'sy ennym agh ta tolerances 'sy ghraih 'sy ghraih 'sy ghraih. Ta mee er gheddyn magh dy vel shoh ry-akin ry-cheilley dy vel rollanyn P4 sliding raad dy vel ad tight fit er ny axles Accurascale – nagh vel ymmyd erbee jeh. Fortunately, ta freggyrt simply ec y traa t'ayn, my t'ou uss ry-reih 'sy red cheddin. Ta smear epoxy ny superglue ry-gheddyn ayns y rowl raad ta'n axle ry-gheddyn as lhig da'n gauge ry-gheddyn ayns e ynnyd tra ta'n glue myr t'eh ry-gheddyn.
Ta'n red ta ry-gheddyn, tra t'eh er n'yannoo y glue, clippaghey ny rollanyn P4 ry-cheilley as check dy vel ad ry-roie ry-roie. As mannagh vel ad, t'eh y red s'cosoylagh dy vel ny rollanyn off-center er nyn axle. Cha nel mooar margin son error agh, my shegin da red erbee ve, t'eh y chaghteraght mie dy vel eh coardail dy bhrisey y glue bond eddyr wheel as axle as goaill go elley.
Er-jerrey, weigh. As ad cheet magh ass y box, ta'n wagon ry-gheddyn mysh 40g. Ta shen beggan er y taobh soilshey son wagon P4, goaill stiagh fer nagh vel compensation ny springing.
