RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 17, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 17, 2019 Has there ever been a kit for these, other than the Gibson one ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benachie Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 There was a Stephen Poole kit but the dimensions were not quite right. Maybe a Roche drawing was used. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the E4 and the J15 from the same source are any guide, there will be a fair amount of 'not quite right'. After the relative gentility of various kits from BEC, Wills, GEM - and even the K's J50 - the agricultural aspect of the Stephen Poole product was something of a surprise. Deployment of copious swearing, cutting, filler and DIY replacement parts produced good running results: but it felt like snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. (It was only the prototypes looking so pretty that kept me going.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert17649 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 there is a kit of parts that can be got through shapeways, no experience of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Bird Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have a Stephen Poole kit of this locomotive. I used the Stephen Poole wheels and chassis kit too. When the body is placed on the chassis, the coupling rods hit the footplate. Not insurmountable but a fiddle to put right. This explains why the kit has never been finished even though I've had it for years. I have a scale drawing from the G.E.R. Society so I'll make a point of checking the dimensions.

RMweb Premium Izzy Posted December 17, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2019 I take it you are talking about 4mm. Jim McGeown at Connoisseur models does both an F3 and a F5/F6 in 7mm. Oh and a F7 (crystal palace tank). Built one of the latter back in the day along with a fair few of Jim's other kits, locos/wagons, J70/J68/J15/G5/4F etc. As always just go together. Pity others aren't as good. I'm sure some have been produced in 4mm in the past but not which ones. Izzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
