Hi, sorry only just seen that you posted this.
Only minimal progress to report, the J24 is now painted and almost finished.
I’m currently trying to shoehorn P4 wheels into an Oxford J27 and build a few more bits and pieces for the layout.
I’ll try and post some updates soon.
Many thanks for looking in
There’s potentially one listed here as well that might be 1:76 but not sure if it’s actually available yet

Any good?

usual disclaimer etc.
These are typically up to 35mm wheelbase but might be worth an enquiry to see if a bespoke one could be put together

I have a couple of the motor bogies under some 7mm narrow gauge locos and they run better than a tenshodo
If you scroll down to the appropriate manual(s) here you should hopefully find all the information you need

Hope this helps

I was wondering about butchering some Gibson wheels and sleeving some suitable diameter rod for the stub axles, I’ll have a more thorough plan when I get chance to dismantle it.
If you’re up for replacing the steps, PH designs do a set of etched ones

I wonder how much longer they’ll keep using CVR(T) which basically still does everything Clive states above, and goes a good deal faster than 40mph….
(And fits in aircraft without taking it half to bits)
I could be wrong but I think this isn’t the first attempt at replacing them?
Another option for an earlier Andrew Barclay prototype would be this one:

You could try york modelmaking

They should be able to give you a quote from the artwork and have a good range of materials

Apologies if this has already been asked, having recently taken delivery of a Hattons 14” Barclay I was wondering if wheels for one of these might be possible with a view to P4 conversion?
Many thanks

Duncan Models do a kit for a Priestman Panther, see about 2/3 of the way down this page
http://www.duncanmodels.co.uk/price_list_steam_vehicles_and_items.htm
I can’t remember when the particular type was first built but it might be suitable
I’ve built the dragline version which with care went together fairly well and I’m planning on converting it to radio control when time permits
Merry Christmas
Mike
