Hi there,

 

Let me take the blame for this one.

 

I did raise the question of new springs, but did not follow up on it.

 

I have now sent instructions through to the factory.

 

We will supply these to you free of charge in little bags.

 

Hopefully, this should be within the next few weeks.

 

Kindest regards,

Ellis.

Excellent news Ellis. You’ve just shifted 2 BG’s with that response!

Good news Ellis, I bought my BCK from your stand at Kettering show. How do I put my name down for a set of the springs?

Hi there,

 

If you send an email to paddy@ellisclarktrains.com.

 

Simply say how many coaches you would like to change the springs on, alongside your postal address.

 

All the best,

Ellis.

Hi all,

 

Good news! The springs are now in stock for the CW bogies.

 

They lower the overall height of the coach by 2mm.

 

We can supply these springs free of charge for those who have already purchased the coaches, or we can fit them in house, again, free of charge.

 

If you would like some posting out, or to place an order with the new springs fitted, please feel free to email or call (01756 701451 or ellis@ellisclarktrains.com)

 

You can also place the order through the website with a note at checkout requesting these springs be fitted.

 

All the best,

Ellis.

Does anyone know if its easy to change the knuckle type couplings for 3 links on these?

Hi there,

 

Very easy - we provide link couplings for the brake ends free of charge.

 

We're currently just awaiting a re-stock delivery of these, which should come in within the next two weeks.

 

Kindest regards,

Ellis.

Afternoon all,

Been a while since I posted on this thread!

It's just a quick one to let you all know that the Mk1 mainline re-run is now in stock.

This also includes the new coach to the line-up, the BSO (Brake Second Open).

Full list and picture of the BSO below.

All the best,
Ellis.

I am looking for a Blue / Grey CK if anyone has a spare they would be willing to sell - pretty please.

Dapol's raised window ones are due out shortly and when they released the original batch, there was then a load of Darsteads on eBay and other 2nd hand sellers so keep an eye out.

I was at ScaleLink yesterday and about to buy a BCK when I noticed that none of the coaches had the yellow first class stripe or door number 1 applied. They didnt seem to be available on the labeling sheet supplied either (which actually seemed to contain a lot of transfers which were completely irrelevant) - was that the norm for these models?
