Re: GWR Locomotive axles
Check photographs both historical and preserved.
Also get your hands on the Russell book of GWR locos.

Re: Hold and Fold Tools
I use my small hold and fold quite regularly.
It is also a useful size to drop in my modelling tool box.
I also have a medium size version for building wagons.

Re: GWR 44xx Kits
Keep an eye on E-bay and make it known that you are after a MM 44xx kit.
White metal kits can produce a very good model with the addition of better detailing and an etched chassis.

Re: P4 wheels centre outside boss
IIRC Colin only produces a single length axle for inside framed locos.
I have had a few axles that appear slightly short when fitted to wheels with thick bosses.
It is not a problem, just fill the indentation with filler before painting.

Fill the gap in the top of the hook where the top chain link goes with a piece of wire or a minute dab of solder.

Sorry for the delay in answering the wheels question. The wheels on Empress are shown as 3' 6.5" diameter. I think I have counted the spokes as 11. Looking at the Gibson wheels list Collin does a 3' 6" wheel 10 spoke 10" throw. I have not visited the archives yet to confirm the wheel ...

Re: 16" Std Bagnall 0-6-0 industrial tank
Steve the range was bought by Kalgarin Models, who as far as I know has no interest in selling 4mm kits, or reintroducing the range, or letting anyone else use the information to do so.
Hence my plan to start from scratch.

Re: Crossing vee soldering problem
Try making a matching triangle of ply to push between the two rails that make the V when soldering.
This should prevent any change in angle.

Thanks for the thought Mike.
I prefer to start from scratch using original information rather than complicate matters by using a chassis from a different locomotive and kit producer.

Re: N7 Chassis Question
I do not understand why you would want a chassis to work for both P4 and 00 standards given the large difference in gauge.
To meet you objectives you will have to build the chassis with 00 spacers and use a fair few washers on your P4 wheel sets.
