johnarcher Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I've not seen these GW underframe kits, though they sound useful, but are they for P4 only, or usable for EM? I wonder as they only seem to be available through S4 stores, therefore to S4 Soc members only (which I'm not, yet, still dithering between EM and P4 for a projected scheme).

UpDistant Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Instructions etc available as a pdf at https://www.scalefour.org/resources/downloads.. They are suitable for both EM and P4, but sale is to Scalefour Society members only, so you either join or wait to buy them at one of the Society exhibitions where your entrance fee gives you day membership.

Craigw Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 At least some of them are listed in the public store and are available to the general public. I would recommend down loading and reading the instructions which are very good but a bit wordy. Once you build a couple of them the assembly makes sense. Can be used for EM or P4.

garethashenden Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 All the underframes can be used for either EM or P4. The clasp braked underframes are EM/P4 only, but the “standard” braked ones may also be built in OO. If you’re considering 4mm finescale (of any flavour) I’d recommend joining the society. Scalefour News and the forum are well worth the cost, even if you decide to go with EM, in my opinion. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I've just found an etch labelled MORGAN DESIGN 1998A Horn ©. It contains 4 small outlines for hornbocks for 2mm axles and 6 larger ones for 1/8th" diameter axles plus washers for both sizes of axles. Can anyone provide any further details of the product? I'm thinking I've had this for about 20 years but suddenly it was there on my workbench and that's all I know about it. There must have been turned axleboxes to match the etch but whether I had these or the etch was intended for use with another supplier's products I've no idea. Any help gratefully received.

Guest WM183 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 What a necro, but - can anyone in the ScaleFour society verify if these underframes are still something stocked by the P4 shop? I need a batch, but hate to join the society to find out they're not made/stocked anymore - I am a member of the EMGS already but they do not have them =( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigw Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 They are all listed in the members only store, along with the exactoscale range. Regards, Craig W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
