RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 22, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 22, 2021 Nice rolling bars - are they still available? It looks like they work on the same principle as my old Ian Cherry ones - unlike the GW rollers which don't drive the work through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Michael, They were made by metal smith ltd from Kettering, and are 12" wide and very solid, l bought them at a show at Preston a few years ago for £100, makes rolling a boiler etc so much easier.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks for the likes guys, been away for too long and really glad to be back, as l say l had lost a lot of my mojo over the last six months not bothering to do much modelling at all, it was even an effort to get myself to the O gauge show at Kettering but l did, and glad l did, as l bought a bargain on the bring and buy stall ? a ACE kit of a M/N, (l knew l was in for a lot of work with the kit from the start) but l had intended to build a B/B out of it from the start ? to my amazement there was a W/C chassis with wheels in the box (great minds think alike) so after a week of looking at all the work involved l started it, after a lot of head scratching and swearing l have almost finished her as No34086 '219 squadron' and in the process of giving her a real good coat of Sh*te, just as l remember them .. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good dose of weathering, and I wont tell anyone if you don't. Besides, its not as if they are going to a Show, and even then 95% of the paying public wouldn't know, I didn't, and obviously you didn't. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a good project buddy, 👍 and as we have discussed on the phone, Covid has knocked you for six since you came out of Hospital. Any pics in the pipeline? 😃 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
