Thank you both for replying, I'll see how I get on with my 108. f that works alright, I'll set about something a bit more involved like my EPBs.

This is such a cracking thread, thank you!

Would this method work for the EPBs Do you think?

Morning,

Question time again! Has anyone on here had a look at or converted one of the PBA wagons? I've not bought any yet, but will be doing so in due course.

I'm now thinking about fitting brass bearings. I would support Flymo's suggestions but on the vehicles I have done I have not fitted any bearings. They work fine and do not have a lot of use so no need in my view. If it ain't broke don't fix it! :) Terry Bendall Terry mine don't see a lot of use ei...

I think I'll pick my wheels up at York show and give it a go over the easter weekend.

Right so I've got to order some 14mm Alan Gibson wheels and some non riveted Colin Criag brake discs. Well wish me luck.....

Cheers gents. So I'm after some maygibs for the CDAs then. I'll get on with ordering them ASAP!

Hello all, I'm new to P4. I'm waiting for my ultrascale wheels to arrive for my 37s. In the meantime, I'm wondering which wheels I need to drop in to the Hornby CDA wagon? HAs anyone converted any of these before? Cheers for any info.
