Double Slide Bar Crosshead

Postby John Bateson » Fri Oct 01, 2010 4:53 pm

I am searching for some double slide bar crossheads - ideally with a scale 14" between the slides.
Can anybody advise of something suitable.
Comet - LS8 - seems to be cast brass and looks very untidy.
AG - 4M791 - not seen this
Markits - I suspect there is something suitable in their range but their web site is down at the moment

Any others - apart from fettling my own using NS etches?

I just measured one I have waiting to on to a loco I will be rebuilding sometime soon.

I measure 4.17 mm on the slides, 5.4 to the outside of the crosshead. The package includes various types of drop link.

Here is what they look like. viewtopic.php?f=30&t=18&p=26&hilit=markits#p26
Cheers,

Mark.

I have ordered one from the Lanarkshire people and no doubt will receive it in the next few days.
