GWR 1361/1366 coupling rods

Postby Philip Hall » Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:53 pm

I have been looking for a set of coupling rods for a GWR 1361/1366, so far without success. I know there is the Alan Gibson universal set that I could use, but does anyone know of a set for these engines? Wheelbase is 5'0" + 6'0". Connecting rods would also be useful but not essential.

Not certain if we have just the rods but will have a look.

Thanks Philip. The rods are to replace those on a converted EM Heljan 1366 which is in some respects poorly engineered (very flimsy rods, won't last at all) but otherwise can be made to run quite nicely.

Found a set. E-mail sent. Just realised I forgot to ask for your address. Thought I had it but can't lay my hands on it at present! Please send it via e-mail.

I ticked the box to receive a copy of the e-mail I sent to you but it did not arrive.
I've been in and checked the Forum records and the e-mail does not show up anywhere! Did you receive one?

Turns out I had not changed my e-mail address for messages to go to when my Virgin account was blocked.
Had to reset everything and wait for system to allow me back in.
Now sorted and package will go in the post today.
