Western Star Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 A pair of happy, smiling Minerva faces at Cwm Bach... Only another 800-odd to go. Does the shedmaster have enough room? Can the shedmaster cope with rostering that many panniers each day? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubes Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hobbyhorse Developments have a GWR smokebox dart reference 7RH160 in the Reynalds range - don't know if that is exactly the type but worth a look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubes Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 OK in which case try Warren Shepherd for one also Meteor, Premier Components (at shows rather than mail order) and Ragstone for more generic darts. JLTRT do or did a pannier and I think they will supply parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Don’t think Premier do one. Might be wrong, but the others look like a better bet. Best Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubes Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No problem at all AFAIK but Coachman mentioned somewhere that the darts on his pannier had been damaged. Can't see the post now so it may have been edited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
81A Oldoak Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Is this as a replacement for the one provided by Minerva? If so, I'm not quite sure what the problem with the factory-fitted one is. The darts fitted to our Minerva panniers are prototypically correct having been designed from original General Arrangement drawings. However, they are rather fragile and very rough handling by the Royal Mail (the Chester and Peterborough sorting offices are especially bad) and couriers (UPS very bad) can result in damage despite our best packing efforts. If any owners have problemns please contact us. Regards, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Wanting a 0 gauge GWR 'Toad' but being in no mood to build one, I went to a well known s/h 0 gauge dealers website. Great, there was one.....Agh,, 'not in stock'. So I checked out a GWR coach to save me building one....Not in stock. This prompted me to checkout other models with the same result. Hell, If this guy deleted everything he DIDN'T have in stock, he'd have no website! Edited March 21, 2018 by coachmann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Even the old Lima Toad can be 'breathed on' a bit to produce a nice model at a cheap price. This is the best photo I have of mine at the moment. Replacement handrails with 4mm scale handrail knobs, scrap brass lamp irons, spare brake gear, spoked Slaters wheels, a repaint, & Guard from Phoenix Figures (as are the Shunter & Yard Foreman). Edit: just realised that at the time of that photo, the lamp iron had broken off & the handrail had come away at the bottom corner!! D'oh!!

90rob Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Protocab fitted Minerva 57XX 7788 shunts a weathered Minerva Iron Mink van at Cwm Bach. Excellent, really excellent! It is difficult to tell the exact colour on the laptop screen - it looks like a heavily weathered green, but the presence of topfeed suggest that you have started out with black model...?
