You have told us now!A couple of years ago I started modifying my Plamobil tractor loco. I am or was installing miniature gear motors and R/C equipment in order to have the boom and shovel move by remote control. Also the outriggers will move outward and inward by R/C. It's been sitting in a box awaiting my return of enthusiasm.
Unlike your project, I had to butcher the original loco.....So no going back.....Only forward, let someone else have at it, or at worse, into the dust bin.....
You have told us now!
These are quite difficult to come by now...
You are forbidden to bin it!
Pass it on, or finish the job..

I agree with PhilP - cats out of the bag and you've announced your return to the project on the perfect thread. Looking forward to seeing some updates!A couple of years ago I started modifying my Plamobil tractor loco.

I have exactly the same workshop weights!
Pray tell us that little tale, oh and where did the step jig come from please?I have exactly the same workshop weights!
You need to be careful having the PVA next to the salt and pepper: we all got told off by an H&S inspector for having PVA in an unlabelled Fairy Liquid bottle, in the days when they weren't transparent. All the pupils knew what was in them, but oh no, our man knew better: 'What would happen if a pupil used it to wash their hands?'. Well, they'd get water-based, completely inert PVA on their hands, which would wash off...
Which reminds me: have I ever told you the story about a thieving flatmate, Swarfega, and Lime Marmalade?
I'll tell you the Swarfega story over a brew at the National, although you can probably join the dots already!
Oh thanks, I have access to a couple of Lazer cutters as I found out on Sunday, Ollie’s Mum’s son has a very comprehensive workshop of that and 3d printers. Found out when he showed interest in my junked up workshop! Man Cave has the other that is more likely the one I will be using, but nice to have a couple of options. So where waste comes out of the van door, a jig like that will be drawn in.
True, but the general principle behind the point he is making is still valid - materials, whether in transparent or solid containers should always be clearly and correctly labelled.
Yup, tricky, and a lot of it is in the way that the H&S officer approaches an issue.
This was at a time when our entire dust extraction for a workshop with a bandsaw, planer, circular saw and sander was a 9" wall-mounted Xpelair fan, so it's fair to say H&S wasn't very far up the agenda!
But also fair to say that some of the risks were not entirely clear at that time as well
Yep if people behaved in a common sense way,the H&S Dept would be redundant.
Well, not quite, there would always be people who would go out of their way to avoid using commonsense as it can sometimes be the more expensive way of doing things.
First one will shortly be on its way to a nice chap in the US.
