Re: Weskie's Workbench
The wheels are made up of 8 lamination. 4 for the spoked wheel and 2 each side for the hub. Held together with an oiled 2 mm steel bolt, then plenty of flux and solder.

East Beds MRS Biggleswade Annual Show 17th Feb 2018
For one day only members of SWAG will be operating Ian Spalding's layout 'Richmond'.
This is it's second time out, previously at our L&WMRS show in 2014.
Here's a tempter.
I see Rolvendon is also there. Might be worth a visit if you're in the area.

Re: Weskie's Workbench
As far as i can tell they only had single brake blocks. Originally wooden, upgraded to cast iron pushrod type around 1896.

Re: Morgan Design TOU System
Micheal Clarke (Masokits) does a functional operating crank. It has a D shaped pivot hole to run a tube through the baseboard and operate from underneath.
Listed in his catalogue as 11.07.
I'll see if i can take a picture of one in situ later for you.

You are quite right, both the LRM kits came with compensated underframes.
but as i prefer springing they have both been modified accordingly.

Re: Weskie's Workbench
Sam.
The D1 kit comes with it's own springing unit.
The 2 midland wagons, I've used RCH 1907 w-irons BWF001/4.
The LRM Deal wagon has some old type Exactoscale units.
The brake van also had the BWF001/4.
And the horse box used RCH NPCS BWF003/4
Hope that helps.
