Less than a week to go; I look forward to meeting old friends and new (it is very much that type of show) at Scaleforum.

 

I also look forward to returning with a lot less money than I left with!!

WE will have Stocks of Romford P4 Axles at the show

you would need to ask Markits

[Kelly]

Looking forward to the show once again.

 

Will be there with Natalie with the DEMU stand once again.

[Captain Kernow]

Incredible.

 

Are you actually saying that Markits are on the point of producing P4 wheels?

I have No idea if he is Or is not making P4 wheels

 

I found out about the axles from a Customer so added them on to a order 

[Portchullin Tatty]

I can help advise but also calm everybody down!!

 

For some time Markits have produced P4 length axles, but they do not produce P4 wheels and when I last spoke to them nor do they intend to.

 

I have a set because I have found it handy to have a set of Markit wheels to assist chassis building.  I do not feel that Alan Gibson wheels survive being taken off and put back on again.  Thus, I have a set of wheels and P4 axles to build the chassis with (as the wheels are self quarter, are much more tolerant to being taken off/reused and also stainless steel, they do make this easier).  I then use the Gibson wheels at the end of the build only.

 

So worth buying (so do visit 247 Developments!), but perhaps not a new range of P4 wheels I am afraid.

My view is that Markits will never produce P4 wheels. The casting techniques they use do not look likely to result in wheel centres that are fine enough in appearance. And you'd still have to resort to covers to hide the axle nuts.

DC Kits in Leeds cannot help on Loco wheels, but they have stocks of the 12mm & 14mm Disc P4 wheels from Black Beetle.  Charlie

Oh well, it was a lovely thought, but thanks for the clarification.

Some new locos to try out too!

 

And extra brakevans.

AhArr, Captain!  Is your 'Like' an offer to accept the Challenge?

 

Can't offer you a proper Yorkshire sausage as a prize though.

I will be along for a play if I can find a gap between operating Clutton and spending money :-)

I am always open to the idea of passing a pleasant few moments in a bit of tranquil shunting on your splendid layout, old bean. I do recall that the last locomotive I ran on it, though, was a rather large one, namely my Ivatt 2-6-0, which I wanted to test.

 

I'll let you choose the motive power this time, if you like.

 

Oh, and by the way, don't worry about the Yorkshire sausage. I'll accept a Yorkshire latte in lieu of said gastronomic delight.

Nay lad, tha'll 'ave a cupacoffee like evryone else, none of this fancy skinnymockalattydoublespresso stuff.

 

And Gordon, operating Enigma can have a beneficial effect on your wallet.  Less time to peruse the temptations that are on offer.

[Horsetan]

....don't worry about the Yorkshire sausage. ....

That's a point, actually. If outside catering was allowed, we could ask The Sausage Man to come and offer us their German delights at Scaleforum.

[Decapod]

Not much time left to buy your advance tickets for Scaleforum 2017:

Advance ticket sales will close at sometime Thursday evening, but if you're too late don't worry you can still pay on the day.

All the Best

Would he be allowed to loiter in the car park?

Sausage Man does operate mobile kiosks, so loitering with intent would be possible
