Presumably the idea was that we would provide links to the threads, otherwise this thread could be very frustrating to a newcomer?

Shouldn't this thread be sticky?

Here's the Bowman identification thread, which contains some useful (I thought!) reference material...

Reference links seems a good idea for us as well as newcomers.
But if we automate too much it cuts down on posting,
something to bear in mind.

Here's a quote from one of MM's posts:

Just remove the scale from inside in vinegar or something similar!


I've got brown malt vinegar, distilled white vinegar or balsamic vinegar. Which is best?


White vinegar could be good! People use it to clean limescale off bathroom tiles and taps etc.

I personally use the stuff that goes on your chips . Just give it a soaking for an hour or 2 and see what happens . It will probably turn pink and will require a bit of brasso after

Let us know how you get on


It was found in the Mamod Whistles thread, http://modelsteam.myfreeforum.org/about2852.html&highlight=vinegar
