Re: Chivers Kits Return...
All sounds very exciting.
I just wonder if they will be producing the excellent white metal loco kits?
I would dearly like the Manning Wardle 0-4-0 F class saddle tank locomotive.

Dapol Stove R
Has anyone converted a Dapol Stove R to P4? Whilst the body looks good, the roof and the underframe leaves a lot to be desired! To make the model work Dapol installed smaller diameter wheels, so it's very neigh impossible to install the correct size wheels without a lot of cutting and carving. Any a...

Thank you all for your comments. Having done a lot more research I have come up with the attached schedule. Also a conclusion as to the GWR AA5 Ballast Brake Plough Brake Van photographed in Ivo Peters S&D Vol 2 photo 163. I think that it is DW40384 from Lot 181. It has a rain strip over what wa...

Re: Yard crane gears
From working with various cranes on construction sites I would imagine that the weight on the back would have been either solid or a box filled with scrap, such as nuts and bolts etc similar to the ballast used in brake vans, but would have had a lid for security and safety so that the weight of the...

I've got a Kemilway chassis for the BR st 2-6-0 76xxx which has the same wheel spacing and size of wheels for the BR st 2-6-2T 82xxx. I built this chassis all as per the instructions back in the 1970's to 00 gauge. I have always been impressed by the linkage etc. But I now want to make it into P4 an...

Re: LNER Thompson 5 compartment brake third
Thanks for all this advice. I think I will go for option 'B' of my previous posting. I think that I will use the Hornby R4577 4 compartment brake 3rd as opposed to Hornby R4576 full 3rd, as the brake end has viewing windows which I think would be much harder to reproduce that an extra set of seats f...

Re: High Level 03 Chassis Build
Chassis has been constructed and now being painted prior to final building.
However High Level provide some excellent footplate overlays, has any one tackled these?
If so what did you bond them on with?
I was considering 3M spraymount?

Can anyone point me in the direction of who produces a R-T-R or kit of a LNER Thompson 5 compartment Brake Third?
If not do I need to buy an Hornby R4653 4 compartment Brake Third & R4652 Third and cut and carve!!!!
Has anyone attempted this?
Thanks for your help.
