Ditto, though my Class 3 is the PDK/ex-Crownline kit.

Just had a reply from CSP saying the 1361 kit depends on new etches being delivered. Basic kit price: £95. Could be released this year.

1366 kit: not sure. Instructions need rewriting, apparently.

CSP were also supposed to be producing a 1361 kit.

I wonder if the Bradwell chassis would work under the later Hornby body? Dave was of the opinion, when he mentioned it to me, that the Hornby B1 was not quite right - he thought the running board drop ahead of the cylinders was over-scale. I've kept my eyes open for a cheap spare body to check this...

North London Group is now based at the Sea Cadets' base, Welsh Harp in West Hendon. Easier for me to get to, anyway! A few somewhat blurred mobile phone views of what was running on Track Night, 28th January 2019. Running stock provided by Dave Holt (exquisite but noisy Std.2 2-6-2T and Ivatt 2 2-6-...

I wish to convert over to P4 a recently obtained tender drive King. Can substitute P4 Wheels be obtained to fit tender or do I have to strip out and fit new chassis ? To convert a Ringfield tender-drive to P4 is quite a challenge. It is in effect the same as a three axle Ringfield diesel bogie, but...

Is Arthur Kimber alright? I tried PM-ing and e-mailing him over a month ago about the Q7 and long bunker J72, but I'm not getting a response.

That actually looks really good already

Ah, thanks for confirmation.

Presumably BR Std. 6/7/8 6'2" wheels are also possible.
