Tools Required for Model Locomotive Kit Building

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Good information on tools, looking aside to my workbench during this video confirms the tools you ddescribe are the most essential and used ones. To this I wood add a piece of plywood on top of your work surface to solder, cut and drill on. A variety of square metal and or wooden pieces to hold things square, some metal clamps, I found some ginat crocodile clips which are very usefull. Also wooden clothes pegs with the spring inverted on them are a good help to clamp parts together. And finaly a selection of different kinds of brushes, like an old tooth brush, some paint brushes and a small wire brush to clean parts from filings and other debries, and to clean your model with water and soap after a soldering session.

Excellent information. Really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

This is great - always interesting to hear somebody talking from experience about a subject they enjoy. I appreciate the effort you've put into video production as well (nice white background, framed well with just your hands in shot and tools in nice focus) - it makes things very clear.

Glad you enjoyed.

Good luck Ross, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I'm procrastinating, I'm modifying some rtr locos I have with new chassis, need breaches before I can start now lol

Thanks for the video! I don't think I saw the flux and solder in the video that you use. Could you elaborate on that?

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video will have to get hold of some of these

[@BrentSudric]

Why do you need a separate soldering iron for wires? Wouldn’t you be able to do the same with the temperature controlled one?

[@Lennon6412]

Interesting video, thank you

[@cb01ttr]

Thanks very much :)

[@jagc1969]

What diameters do you recommend for the cutting broaches?

[@gordonallan2798]

Someone already asked what range of solders you need for etched + whitemetal loco kits but they didn't catch your eye. I would like to know please and what flux you use please.

[@cb01ttr]

Hi Gordon, I use phosphoric acid flux, like this: www.hobbyholidays.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=PHOSFLUX60
