G'day
thanks for your post, really helpful.
I think you've hit t'nail on t'head with the wheel diameter - suspect the rearmost of the driving wheels may foul the footplate/cab unless I'm careful.
( quick question: when you write 21.4mm wheel diameter, is that from flange to flange, or just around the barrel? Cheers)
I was thinking of 40:1, and I reckon the High level Hi-Flier with a 1428 will fit and will be ideal. Have been in touch with the guys at High Level, they are proving very helpful - same with Dave at Roxey Mouldings.
I plan to finish the k3 in LNER colours, for the late '30's NE region. I will be running OO gauge, on Code 100 track. R3 curves mainly, the occasional R2.
Talking of pony truck - where would I find one of those? nothing in the kit.....
thanks
Chris
