SOME MORE 'MAKE DO AND MEND' WITH EXEMPLAR PROTECT

摘要

Next up are the wheels that drive the paddles. Over the years I have tried all sorts of ways of making tiny hand wheels that are scattered over locos like confetti. I shy away from saying do it this way because frankly I have no idea. If you find a way that is easy to produce and works for you exploit it (share it with us, the ME/MEW fraternity by all means). I have been caught out previously by making six spokes only later to discover a much clearer photograph and count just five! Grrrrrr! Three, six and four are easier because you can start from hex or square -5, and worse, 7 are a bit of a pig.
