decauville1126 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) the Fell is designed to use 4851ST on 2mm axles Are these the "standard" 1/8" bore wheels with the 1/8" to 2mm reducing bushes or are they a special with a 2mm pin in the mould? Thanks. Edit: sorry, realise these are tender wheelsets so on 2mm axles already! Edited August 26, 2018 by decauville1126 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 26, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2018 Are these the "standard" 1/8" bore wheels with the 1/8" to 2mm reducing bushes or are they a special with a 2mm pin in the mould? Thanks. Edit: sorry, realise these are tender wheelsets so on 2mm axles already! I think you've just answered your own question! I did ask Colin if he could do this wheel with a 1/8th axle but it's not possible. I didn't really want to use 2mm axles on this loco, although my prototype does and seems satisfactory. Production etches should be arriving this week so It's looking good for release at Scaleforum. We will have the Horwich 0-4-0ST and the Harland & Wolff ready for EM north as promised.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 28, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 28, 2018 Production etches for the Fell arrived today, some lost wax castings to arrange and a lot of instructions to write but should be OK for Scaleforum next month. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 10, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2018 Still waiting for lost wax castings for the Fell but we will be able to sell the kit , if only with resin moulded buffers (that's what's on the two built so far anyway). Fowler 3P 2-6-2T sold out again last weekend at the EM show, too late to get any more for Scaleforum now but we'll have more by the end of October. Plenty of interest and sales for the Horwich 0F, not so much for the Harland & Wolff but we did sell one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted September 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2018 How is the Stanier 2-6-2 coming on, it could well be as successful if not more than the Fowler 2-6-2 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted September 12, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2018 Slowly, all the frame and motion etch was done last year though. It's good to hear its progressing.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 19, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2018 Horwich 0F 0-4-0ST We.ve just discovered an error in the parts list and instructions for this kit - parts 40 and 42 have been transposed, 40 is the rear end of the tank with handrail holes and spacing tags, 42 is the front end. Sorry about this but thanks to "beechnut" for pointing this out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
