Solering irons & stations recommendations?
justboatonic:
Well it looks like my 20+ year old Weller 60w soldering gun has finally pegged out. Ive another iron for heavy duty stuff like soldering heli ESC leads etc but I need something that's not as long as a magician's wands for smaller jobs and smaller gauge wire.
Im after recommendations for a decent quality, reliable soldering iron, with or without station, that will be capable across my hobby interests of boats and trains for general use.
Thanks in anticipation.

I can recommend the RS Pro series

The Antex CS18 with its available variety of bits has been a favourite of mine since the early '60's, both the 50 volt version and the mains one.
