belles51 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 this bad boy is made by"toy major" out of hong kong. for anyone stateside i purchased 4 of these at albertsons food stores. a guy i know is trying to run one down in california for his track. the fencing that comes with the set can be encorperated into your track. track pic 2 track pic 3 drill 1/4" plastruct white tubing to a depth of 3/8". cut each length after drilling to 7/8" dry fit the tubing on the scaffolding cut plactruct 1/8" square stock to fit on the tubing glue the square stock together. fit rectangle on to the tubing. paint tubing and railing then attach the railing to the tubing.....the tubing fit so tightly to the scaffolding there was no need for glue.

RePete Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 There was definatly an OH & S issue with that scaffold before you added the handrail Just as well workover never showed up or that guy with the chainsaw would get fined for sure Great score on the kit looks like you could use heaps of the parts for bashing Quote Keep it in the groove Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belles51 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Just as well workover never showed up or that guy with the chainsaw would get fined for sure Great score on the kit looks like you could use heaps of the parts for bashing pete you hit the nail on the head i found about 5 things that i can turn into scenery and two for sure for my track. in fact my next idea is the great fencing i bashed for my track. your right pete, that psyco with the chain saw is probably the sorry excuse the manufacturer wants to give for not finishing the scaffolding.

kalbfellp Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Nice tower Paul but a bit on the expensive side once we get them here to Australia. Phil Quote Phil https://www.hobartminiaturecarclub.com/ Email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srapaul Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Phil and all, I know the postage does add to the cost, but last year I sent a TV Tower set to Australia for £9 by the Royal Mail Airsure service (insured, tracked and signed for) and would be happy to do the same for others, until such time as the new reseller has stock - we do not want to be competing with our resellers in any way! We would offer a discount to users of the Auslot Forum, which goes a little way to offset the postage. I hope no-one will be offended by the commercial nature of this posting, but, as a manufacturer, we do like to try to help fellow enthusiasts get what they like. (Even if you want to make something yourselves, you might get some inspiration from our photos - but please don't go into production and compete against us!!!!). Regards, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalbfellp Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Paul: all your products provide inspiration! I for one often refer to your products for ideas. Unfortunatly quality does cost money! the "copies" that build are usually no were near the standard of your products,its just that we tend to want to spend more on cars and less on the scenery!

"he" is a walmart construction figure they carried for a short time 4 years ago. there were 7 types all with separate accessories, this fellow was a hots carrier and had a wheel barrel. im sure they soon realized that kids would choke on the accessories and discontinued them. mark Quote MARK......FROM THE ARIZONA DESERT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
