RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted February 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2019 These kits are available from H and A models, sorry, I am unable to provide a link, but googling brings them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Siberian Snooper. Sadly they are not, I was talking with H&A today at Doncaster Show. The kit has been discontinued by Cambrian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted February 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2019 It's still listed on Cambrian's own website, but shown as "Out of Stock". The GWR Herring is one of their more recent kits, so I doubt it's actually discontinued. There'll presumably be another batch made whenever they get to it.

John There is a problem in production and it’s been withdrawn for the foreseeable. Either way I could do with another 3 kits, so I’m on the look out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll get the issue sorted before it gets to the top. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grt Posted February 15, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am afraid that the C110 is currently withdrawn from the Cambrian range due to ongoing production difficulties with the one piece underframe. The other 4 one piece underframes use the same basic mould with different inserts. The C110 involves the most convoluted flow of plastic due to the sunken floor which cradles the hopper and has always been troublesome. We have tried various solutions but none produce consistent results. Either the mould fails to fill completely or the plastic becomes brittle and sticks in the mould. The time expended on this issue has contributed to us falling behind in production of other kits and so we are taking a break from seeking solutions. The moulding machine we use is showing signs of wear and we may replace or refurbish it which might be the ultimate solution. Failing that the inserts may need to be reconfigured to produce separate solebars and floor. We will not give up on it but need to take a break for the sake of the rest of the range.
