  1. Having just got back from a trip to watchet just now I have picked up some old kits at a junk shop on the harbour from after a hot dog for dinner I went upstairs to the junk emporium , 

     where I bought a job lot of kits, mainly a collection of coopercraft kits  with made in swain street watchet labels on so they traveled around three hundred yards in thirty years from being made !

     But in the job lot were two coke wagon kits which is why I found this thread trying to find out about these kits as I haven't had any of theses kits befor, I presume I am going to run in to the to wide apart axelbox problem found with the open C and N.B cask wagon ,which I cure by packing out the brass bearing cups with 2mm washers behind the flange of the top hat bearings,with just enough. Of the bearing left to locate in the axelbox hole, 

     if your still reading are there any transfers I can use on these coke kits out there like  dad 1 s Bridport Gas  ones which I like , but perhaps I ought to put Sturminster Newton Gas Co to reflect there beginnings ?

  2. Thank you for up dating us on your wagons Yorkshire.

    and for the details of where your CO came from, can you remember how many CO were on the transfer sheet as I need ten of them ! Due to to much kit building over the spring time awaiting guests comeing back in

    mice little works train now built up from P17-P23 Cambrian sleeper wagons and a Ballest Brake van just awaiting a few COs fitted to Finnish the train

  3. Thanks your right reverend !(if I remember right that's how you address a bishop!

     I had found this one after continuing my hunt after posting this morning, but I think I will have to contact mr Isherwood  as these transfers cover BR liveries and not GWR as required hopefully though as the CO lasted into BR some might be on their, fingers crossed
