  1. Never say no. Just need a drawing and a photo that matches. Marc
  2. So the GAs should be available in Leeds records office.arc
  3. Anyone have any idea who built it? Marc
  4. I'm learning how to do the printing I have the equipment to print but I can't get it to work. I have a A5 Y point I need to print in P4 very shortly.
  5. I have just been having a email chat with Wayne from British Finescale who do a growing range of point work. I asked him if he had considered doing some of his 4mm standard gauge points in 21mm using the rail components from his growing EM/P4 range, he hadn't but he might consider it in the future if enough people asked. In the meantime he is making the rail components for his A6 and B7 points available from his website https://www.britishfinescale.com/product-p/milled-switchblades.htm https://www.britishfinescale.com/category-s/1517.htm So with the aid of templot 21mm point kits are now available. Marc
  6. Most DNGR coaches were standard LNWR 30ft 1inch coaches widened to 5ft3 gauge. Marc
  7. I saw some on the LNWR society stand on Saturday absolutely stunning. If your a LNWR modeller in 00 or P4 then they probably be on your shopping list. Marc
  8. I was planning to swap the wheels for Gibson's P4 ones any way so they are not going to be a problem. It was the surgery to the top and if I could get the old wheels out which was the bit the was the concern. If it wasn't possible to convert one my other opinion was a London road models LNWR special tank kit built as a DN&GR loco. Marc
  9. I'm looking for a quick win to get a 21mm micro shunting layout up and running. So converting a standard LMS 3F Jinty into a NCC jinty looks on paper and easy win. Firstly has anyone done it? And secondly how easy is it to do? Marc
  10. Follow a number of requests I will be starting the design work for a kit in both 7mm and 4mm once I have got back from Scalefour Crewe next week. I have already stated modifications to my existing GNR(I) 6plk kit to expand it use into other companies. Marc
  11. In my experience of their etches what you think your buying is not what you get. I had a client who bought a Furness Railway Rail car etch from them it didn't match any known photo or the works drawings. It did however match a sketch in a book by Rush. I had to send it back to the client saying I couldn't build it. So good luck Marc
  12. So I need to change the buffers and axle boxes and new wagon. Doesn't sound two much of a task.
  13. The next ones are in the post you should have them tomorrow or Friday. Finally managed to get back online. Marc
  14. Sorry if this subject has been brought up before. I'm planning a small shunting layout in 4mm scale using 21mm gauge track circ 1900ish. Using a mixture of Templot and C&L components build 21mm gauge bulkhead track is not a great problem. So my question is this apart from the GNR(I) and DNGR which other Irish railways used BH rail and when did companies switch from BH to FB?
