I'd agree CSB on a bogie would be a bit of an ask! But that doesn't mean springing can't be used on a bogie. This is the arrangement I have on my Scot. Those who've seen it run will attest to the quality of the chassis - not all my own work admittedly. The bogie is a typical Garwood bodge! :D P10100...

Does this mean you're not going to be stocking the air booth filter replacements? If not, can you suggest a supplier please.

I have a number of Comet Mk1's with the Comet brass 'slab' soldered onto the underframe. I was hoping that your design might be adapted to allow me to use them without having to un-solder this big brass washer, described on the Comet site as 'Threaded coach bogie rubbing plates, bolts, nuts, pair' ...

Pete

My thoughts exactly...

Mike

Adapted? To what? Aren't they comprehensive enough as they are? Justin I have a number of Comet Mk1's with the Comet brass 'slab' soldered onto the underframe. I was hoping that your design might be adapted to allow me to use them without having to un-solder this big brass washer, described on the ...

Very nice Justin. Any idea of price for the kit? I'd be up for a couple of those. Can they be adapted?

Mike

That is exceptionally convincing Jim, lovely work.

Hi

I think the owner has recently passed away and I don't think the range has been picked up. I could be wrong on that - but not about the owner.

Rod

That looks awesome! Which couplings did you standardize on for the freight stock?

Mike

Considering the crap day I've just had...I feel my mood lightning, thanks Rob, just what I needed. It looks quite spectacular!

Hi Andy I've no idea how old the transfer sheet was/is. It's one of pages I had left over from lining all the LMS coaches I built some years ago. But it was still tacky when I peeled the protective cover off to get at them. I'd checked the alignment by running my eye down the length of the coach and...

Thank you all for the suggestions. I tried the meths approach first without any success only dulling the finish of the surrounding area. Tried the micro sol suggestion, I did use a lot of the solution, but you can see the result below. So, bathtime with some cellulose thinners and start again. IMG_1...

Good evening Just finishing off a GWR full brake, in BR maroon (cellulose)...my usual methods employed for getting the lining straight - which on the previous 30 odd coaches worked well. Added the Micro sol, off came the top covering to reveal a donkey's hind leg. Added more micro sol and went about...

For the last few years, for all the chassis I've wanted (but not having time to build right now) I've ordered wheels ahead of the build. The only wheels I need right now - and I'm in no particular rush - is for a Royal Scot and a Duchess...and I may decide to get rid of these kits as they don't fit ...

Thanks John

Anyone like to post some photos, for those of us... #tied up in a caravan in Folkestone! #

#edit : not allowed out, not enough brownie points, I blame the painting and decorating gremlins

You might want to see what Justin Newitt of Rumney models developed for those. That's if you don't already know...

Looking forward to seeing that!

Mike

Personally, I was thinking 16t mins and Justin Newitt's excellent under pinning, some 12t BR goods vans wouldn't go a miss either. As I type this my credit card is already wincing!

Mike

Now that's a brilliant idea! Point well made Pete!

Mike

Excellent, just in time for my desktop test track. Four feet of fun with a single point.

As I understand the latest entry on the thread on Falcon Brass... the threat of with drawl of the range has been removed. Whether that's a good or bad thing...only those buying and building the kits will know for sure.

Mike

I have a feeling this was covered in an MRJ some years back, might be worth searching http://www.modelrailwayjournal.com/ to check

It's all in the name, there's no design difference in any of Bill's excellent sprung bogies - they all look the same. I've used the LMS ones several times on GWR stock, you wouldn't know that there's a difference. Just get a set and you'll see what I mean.

Having just returned from Aylesbury, I just wanted to thank the committee for a splendid job. Really enjoyed the show. So thanks Terry and all his helpers, it was superb! Enjoyed Brettel Road and Dewsbury - the buildings on Dewsbury were some of the best I've ever seen. But singling out one de-cries...
