It's Official! Reverse Direction this week!

Best place to make a public announcement about what's happening in the Club - or is it?

Last round of the Reg Church Trophy this coming Thursday and it has to be time for the last run in the reverse direction. (who proposed that half the rounds should go in reverse??)
Track has been cleaned off too!

At a best guess, five of our number will know this......................?

By the way Robin, Race-A-Way scalextric appears to be up for sale, get a mortgage on that instead and think how much HO track you could get in there!

Koford Arm, 6 tooth pinon, C-can and magnets + Brighton Flat for Sale!

Wouldn't you know it!

There i was trying to pull the 6 toothed pinion abit further back up the shaft (yes,i has pushed it down to far towards the can bearing and was trying to correct my mistake using a razor blade, pliers and soldering iron) and then my fingers turned to the finest butter and off the motor went down to the loft floor ,and just to rub salt in the wounds, down the only bloody nook and cranny there is and dove under the loft floor boards never to be seen again!!!! So if you buy my flat there's a slot car goody awaiting you.

I've come to terms with the fact i hate soldering pinions and motors with a passion. Also gear meshing is another weakness unless its a falcon motor with a 11/10 tooth pinion and a 36/38 toothed gear then it seems impossible to get it wrong.

Thought you lot might enjoy this post at my expense.

P.S. Jody i've got another super production for you to look at with a "Gear meshing" problem!
