Source of 7mm loco extras, oil cans, fire irons lamps etc?


Recommended Posts

Just been browsing the DJH Modelloco website. They used to do quite a decent range of two sets of fire-irons, large and small, loads of different loco lamps, and one with tools, large and small oil cans, paraffin cans billy cans, buckets etc, all nicely cast in brass.

 

They seem now to do the larger fire-irons and ONE lamp, the early LNER one. :scratchhead:

 

They also say they have no plans to re-introduce any of the now-missing items.

 

So, as usual, I've missed the boat on this one. Does anyone know of any other source for 7mm steam loco accessories?

Ixion did sets of plastic fire-irons etc with their Hudswell Clarke loco and Tower Models sold them separately. Possibly the same as the Minerva ones. Dragon Models or Chris Klein will know if still available.

Ixion's O gauge locos are sold out. I have a few sets of loco tools and fireirons. Send a PM for more info. Minerva buckets with working buckets are six for £5 and available on the website www.minervamodelrailways.co.uk

Fire irons can be fettled with pliers from brass wire. Shovels can be formed from annealed copper shim, soldered to a wire handle. There was an article in MRJ years back about making buckets (and a tin bath, I believe) from tinfoil and superglue. Shunters poles from sanded down cocktail stick & wire.

 

It’s all rather fun.

I'm struggling to find any reference to prc online despite having bought from them not that long ago 

 

Is he still trading?
