Wigan Wallgate OO Gauge Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Nothing in 1:64 scale, I'll have a look at the De, I've got plenty of information on that one. I'd be happy to order a few off of you to supply to people over here, as I know a lot of people are after the De Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted January 21, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 21, 2017 The B9 is on the same sheet as our Princess which has now slowed down considerably, V4 and B9 would probably fill another sheet so it looks quite possible now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinorwic Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Another one for a K4 here. Willing to put down a deposit if required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Excellent, keep it coming! We already know a V4 etch exists (albeit needing correction), but if people also want a Gresley K4, I'll add my name to that list as well. What numbers have we got now?

Mike said the footplate on the V4 was too thick, being etched in 15 thou. But I'd happily take the etches as they are now and use the footplate as a template to cut out a replacement. I think that was all that was wrong - right, Mike? Numbers? Fetch the pig! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, Would there be any mileage in putting the V4 tender on a separable etch to include the 3500 gallon tender variants for V4, K4, K1/1, J38 etc?

Doesn't Bradwell cover all those? Yes he does; 3500 (£55) and 4200 gallon (£53) - you do get everything in them, though, and won't have to hunt around for castings. A "loco only" etch for V4 and K4 - as was done for the Princess - would allow people to mix and match their preferred products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and skim the back off some Bachmann tender axleboxes (easily got second hand). Same source for tool boxes. Bradwell usually does "etches only" though.

RMweb Premium Daddyman Posted January 22, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2017 Castings, not etchings. No, I meant he may sell his tender kits as etches only - without castinga. His NER 3038 is actually advertised like that, and he gave me the larger NER tenders kit like that, though I get the impression I was the first as he had to calculate the price. So it may be that he would sell a 3500 in that way. It's not that his castings are in any way poor, but it saves costs especially if, like me, you have lots of Bachmann GS tenders lying around. (I know he also advertises his castings: https://traders.scalefour.org/DaveBradwell/castings/) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted January 22, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've never promised anything about a K4, the V4 came out of a commission to build one (Ian Rathbone had that one on his demo at Warley last year). On the original etch the footplate was indeed .015" thick, as is the whole etch, what was missed off was the half etch at each side for the footplate angle to fit in. There were a great many other issues with it, it was done in something of a hurry to fill up the sheet for the Fowler 3P 2-6-2T. This latter is now in process of correction for production as I build one so I don't want to repeat the earlier etch for this either. Present intention would be to repeat the etch for V4 and tender without the errors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
