Any of them really, just a generic question, mainly diesel though as too many bits to drop off steamies.. valve gear etc

What chassis?

Hi Guys

What tools does everyone use to mill out the older chassis when converting to DCC/Sound?

I found this on eBay (eBay item number:375978257720)and was wondering if anyone else was using one ?

I think this is meant for watchmaking, has useful bits on the vice for holding round parts to be drilled etc so could be useful for axles and things like that. A bit unsure if it would actually be large enough to hold a chassis and powerful enough to mill it though?

Not something for me, I fear. He's obviously a good guitarist but I have limited listening span for such instrumentals

As a retired packaging engineer (!) I too have shipped n-gauge locos. It is obviously very important to ensure the loco cannot 'rattle' within it's packaging! Lots of tissue/bubble wrap/foam usually does the trick!

Fifty bucks more than me, then

Not a hope.
My betting is limited to $10 a race for the day, and I only do a win/place bet. So only came out with some $50.

I feel your pain. I have also told sellers to be careful with posting but to no avail. I once bought a mint class 37 only to have all 4 buffers smashed to pieces. And the seller thought I had made it up.

You can only try your best but sellers are in the main ignorant of this situation. Especially now that the packaging is so much better.

Yup I've had a few like that over the years, and not just Farish either.  Old Arnold boxes used similar vac-formed trays.

I think Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce would be utterly ashamed that their names were on such a monstrosity. No grace, no elegance, just a boring SUV on steroids, but then elegant cars are a thing of the past now. Bring back classics like Duesenberg and Delage and Delahaye...

Cheers,
