RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted February 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi all, Would anyone know where i could purchase the attached very useful scratch building aids. As you can see on each there are 2 different sized springs. I got them in a bulk load of ebay with no details. If anyone could point me in the right direction. I have look on the Scalefour stores and public area and obvious candidates, but to no avail Many thanks in advance. Duncan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middlepeak Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Duncan, My (very ancient) packet says Comet on them, so try Wizard / 51L, who now hold the Comet range. Regards, Geraint 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbedford Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 They are not two different sized springs. The smaller one is an overlay to the other. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlepeak Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Duncan, The packet says Loco Springs LS1. I've checked on the Wizard site and they're not listed. Maybe the Roxey version is the best bet. Geraint 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew at Wizard thinks the ones I have may have been on a test etch and is looking to see if he can find any more.
