Gordon A Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) After plunging through the landscape in October, (I went trail riding for 30 years so I understand the pleasure), have you been able to make further progress? Richard XR200 A third modified etch was ordered before December. I have just been sent an invoice, so hopefully I will get a set of etches in a few weeks time. I have been reviewing my pencilled notes for the instructions trying to simplify them. Gordon A Edited January 7, 2019 by Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon A Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Yes, the body now fits! Unfortunately I forgot to refit the cylinders before soldering the lower half of the boiler barrel in place. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, taken with my mobile. I just need to sort a suggested minor mod out and finalise the instructions.

Gordon Obviously it would be great to have a catch up with you over a coffee, matey, but if you wouldn't mind also bringing that chassis with you, because I might feel like a bit of a drool that day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon A Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Had a really enjoyable weekend at the Scalefour North show, Wakefield. Beer, curry, spending money at the show and talking to the demonstrators and many friends. A good selection of layouts and trade. Dodo with my etched P4 chassis paid a visit to Rolvenden K&ESR with the managements permission late Saturday afternoon fort running trials. A fourteen wagon train with a high percentage of white metal wagons tackling the gradients out of Rolvenden station caused some wheel slip. Just the instructions and a third party test build to complete. Gordon A 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon A Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 At last I am pleased to announce that the Hornby EM / P4 chassis kit has been assembled using the version 3 etch and the twelve pages of instructions with photographs. A few tweaks to the instructions were requested otherwise I was advised all was well. The etch along with associated rod, tube, 8ba screw and nut will cost £22.00. Post and packing will cost a further £3.50 for signed for delivery. The instructions if I can e-mail them to you will be Free Of Charge. If you wish a hard copy colour printing in Bristol costs between £0.75 to £1.00 an A4 sheet! What I would like is confirmation of definite orders along with personal contact details to be e-mailed to me at ga007d9065@blueyonder.co.uk please. I am looking to place an order with the etchers at the end of the month, unless I get an initial tsunami of orders. There is no need to send me any money until I have received the etches, then I will notify you requesting payment before despatch. I will send out instructions to those who wish to see them before placing an order. Just send me a request at the above e-mail address.
