Nortonville Phil Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Recently I purchased this coach off EBay. It is missing a bogie. I was wondering if someone might point me in the direction of where I might find a spare bogie. I am in the US. Or perhaps a pair of similar type bogies with finescale wheels could be purchased. I just am not familiar with who the suppliers are for this type of item. Thanks for any assistance. Phil Randall Edited September 2, 2021 by Nortonville Phil Name added.

Nearholmer Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) If Mr Peacock at Leeds-Stedman Trust can’t oblige, then Bruce Palmer probably can. He is an occasional correspondent on RMWeb, but I have his contact details if this post doesn’t attract his attention. stedman, not steadman Edited September 1, 2021 by Nearholmer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Until today I hadn't heard of this model company. Happy that I learned something today. It will be great to see this coach fixed up. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Possibly the first company, certainly the first in Britain, to make moulded-plastic r-t-r rolling stock, before WW2, and to a standard that still fools ebay sellers who perpetually list them as "possibly kit built". In that, and a number of other things, they were well ahead of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nortonville Phil Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Thanks to all for providing direction to me on this project. I will look into getting the parts I need from the Trust. Phil 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassettblowke Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 If you intend to pursue an interest in LMC products David Peacocks book available from the trust is an essential buy, giving chapter and verse on LMC products over the years. The Dutch HRCA website also have some excellent pictures of Leeds models. Both David and Bruce Palmer are very helpful guys as well as providing those essential parts for restorations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
