RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 6, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 We have had some enquiries recently about kits we produce for HO scale. All these have been scaled to 1:87 from our existing kits, mostly to order from overseas customers. Ruston 165DS/DE This was originally done to special order for a South Australian 5'3" gauge example but the frames are normal standard gauge. This is a fully produced kit in stock at £45. This is one I built recently as a 165DE for a Swedish customer. Sentinel 0-4-0DH chain drive This is also a production kit in stock at £42. The wheelbase (nothing else) has been stretched to fit the shortest available Tenshodo power bogie (not supplied).

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 6, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 more HO kits This is the Spanish version of YE Taurus, my test etch build and a completed model from Spain. This has since become our second best selling kit (after the NER ES1 Bo-Bo). For the Portuguese market we have this Sentinel unfinished test etch model, this can be built in 16.5mm gauge or correct 5'6" 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 6, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2012 The final selection is a spin off from my work in 9mm scale for New Zealand, the Ruston 165DE is a complete kit for either standard gauge (BR PWM650) or 3'6"/metre gauge with outside cranks. The Hitachi 0-4-0 is a scale down of etches for this New Zealand shunter. Both these are the original 9mm scale models. We also have some etches (no mouldings) for BR 0-6-0DM 11001 and Mersey Docks Hudswell 0-6-0DM 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 more HO kits... This is the Spanish version of YE Taurus, my test etch build and a completed model from Spain. This has since become our second best selling kit... One imagines that, had these kits come from a European kit producer, the retail price would easily have been three to four times what you are charging, Mike. No wonder your HO range is proving popular! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 One imagines that, had these kits come from a European kit producer, the retail price would easily have been three to four times what you are charging, Mike. No wonder your HO range is proving popular! They're pretty cheap to start with when comparing to other UK kit producers (either others are over charging or Judith Edge aren't into exploiting the market. Either way great value. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Delamar Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 We also have some etches (no mouldings) for BR 0-6-0DM 11001 and Mersey Docks Hudswell 0-6-0DM this type? when where they introduced? too modern for running under the Liverpool Overhead im guessing? and what would need to be moulded? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted August 7, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yes, the last MDHB locos, far too late for running under the LOR. The first Hudswells (different type) appeared just after the LOR closed but before it was all demolished. I've not built one of these yet, HO or 4mm or 3mm but we have etches in 3mm and 1:87 scales.

Michael Delamar Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) they are one of those locos that I cant decide weather I like them or not. they look a fair bit of work too. Im trying to concentrate on pre 1956 locos for the new MDHB layout at the moment and have got a few other things to finish. nice pic of one. 155 MDHB loco 45 by edgehillsignalman, on Flickr Edited August 21, 2012 by michael delamar 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debs. Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just a quick thank you to Michael and Judith for your time at Expo. EM (Nth.) today; showing me your lovely 7mm. Hunslet 403.........my kit-order will surely be along in due course! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Melrose Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Is it time for the Princess etch? Mike had at least one for sale at ExpoEM yesterday but also said the next iteration with mods should be available by Sccaleforum. You can probably get one now, if you wish, but it's up to you to decide whether to wait for the next version. Patience? Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timara Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Mike had at least one for sale at ExpoEM yesterday but also said the next iteration with mods should be available by Scaleforum.....Patience? *wavers uncertainly* It might be worth waiting a little longer. There are a few more mods/changes to add yet, on top of those that have just crept in (thanks to my visit to the MRC). I'm paying a visit soon to Tyseley to get a closer look at 6201, so I'd give it a month or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted September 17, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted September 17, 2012 Someone got wires crossed there, no updates on the Princess etch yet Mike had at least one for sale at ExpoEM yesterday but also said the next iteration with mods should be available by Sccaleforum. You can probably get one now, if you wish, but it's up to you to decide whether to wait for the next version. Patience? Stan Wires crossed there, we said the J63 should be available at Scaleforum, the updated Princess is still some way off. Meanwhile for those of you who have ordered the existing version (which will be at Scaleforum) I have done some of the missing parts as an additional etch - no extra cost.Michael Edge 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 1, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2012 We got the J63 out in time for Scaleforum (just!) and they sold like the proverbial hot cakes. Price is £60, we'll pack some more for Manchester this weekend. Unlike the other GC etches we have sold this one has been worked up into a full kit with all the mouldings in addition to the n/s etch. The builder has to supply motor/gearbox/wheels/buffers. The suggested drive arrangement is a High Level Roadrunner+ on the leading axle and it can be built rigid or fully compensated. buffers are from Kean Maygib, alternative oval heads are on the etch. I haven't been able to come up with an economical way of producing the safety valves and whistle, so only the moulded base and etched safety valve lever are included in the kit.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 3, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2012 Can we order the existing version plus addition now, then? We have two for you now, they are a little awkward to post since they weren't designed to fit in our boxes. If you would like to send us a cheque (payable to Judith Edge) and an address to post it to we'll get them out to you.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 3, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 3, 2012 No, we'll post them flat between two boards. They would still be far too well produced to have any chance at the Turner prize anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Bring a Hunslet 16" with you this weekend please Mike, Ive resolved to spend very little at the show apart from that one thing!! Been threatening to buy since I saw it at Scalefour North, but now is the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well Mike I hope you will bring this one out soon as there must be some mad fools wanting them and there should be a lot of sales for it. http://cgi.ebay.co.u...4#ht_500wt_1182 Two hundred and seventeen quid for that???!???

Daniel W Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered producing a Fireless Steam Loco kit Mike? The only one I can think of in 4mm is the Impetus Fireless Barclay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 8, 2012 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have thought about it but I already have a model of the only fireless loco I need for a layout - this is the reason for most of our steam loco kits. I did etch the motion components for the MDHB Barclay though, not for this one but for a 3mm scale one. There are a couple of errors in this model, it's 6in. too narrow and the exhaust up the back of the cab is wrong. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
