davknigh Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The SEF "P" might not have the P4-specific spacers in it; some of the reworked kits catered only for OO and EM. Thanks Ivan. I suppose the thing to do is drop SEF a line and ask. Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayfield Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Well, I was not aware that Branchlines even did a P chassis and from my side of the pond the SEF one seems easiest to get, that was why I asked. All that said, which one would be better for P4 as both seem to be etched. Cheers, David David I bought a SEF P class loco from eBay, it not only had a Branchlines chassis but also a detailing set, which includes etched footplate, cab front, floor and back, buffer beams and steps, also cast back head and brake lever. All of these parts are in whitemetal in the SEF kit, looking at the instructions the SEF chassis may be more detailed with inside cylinders, but not too certain if it comes with EM/P4 spacers and cylinder comparability. Have a word with Dave Ellis at SEF Edit The branchlines kits come with 2 sizes of spacer 00 and EM/P4 so the SEF may be the same Edited October 15, 2017 by hayfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Comet do frame spacers in all three gaugesSpacers aren’t actually a problem as I have some Gibson P4 spacers in stock. I just want to be sure the chassis will be adaptable to springing/compensation. I have sent an email to SEF which may be followed by an order if all goes well.

hayfield Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Here is a listing on eBay for a SEF P class chassis http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/South-Eastern-Finecast-FC167-SR-SECR-P-Class-0-6-0-Chassis-Kit-Etched-N-Silver-/311980849850?hash=item48a381faba:g:dKgAAOSwAj5Z3JsU As you can see has P4 spacers, has half etched cut out for compensation if required, good set of photos for a change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Very useful John. That answers all my questions. Still have to go through SEF as the vendor doesn’t post to Canada. Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, David I listed it for the photos, and was not sure anyway whether you wanted the whole kit or chassis, if you have an old kit Dave is happy to supply the additional parts that the revised kits have in them Edited October 16, 2017 by hayfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Here is a listing on eBay for a SEF P class chassis http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/South-Eastern-Finecast-FC167-SR-SECR-P-Class-0-6-0-Chassis-Kit-Etched-N-Silver-/311980849850?hash=item48a381faba:g:dKgAAOSwAj5Z3JsU As you can see has P4 spacers, has half etched cut out for compensation if required.... Aha, so its the SEF chassis that has the P4-specific spacers, not the Branchlines. I had thought it was the other way round, as with the SECR "C" class.

I had thought it was the other way round, as with the SECR "C" class. Branchlines may well include P4 or EM gauge spacers if requested. I bought the kit off eBay and the parts were enclosed, as it is a revised SEF kit no idea why the chassis was changed, still in 2 minds about using the Branchlines detail packs and may revert to a SEF chassis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sympathetic, I have similar issue on my island-publishing site currently (too many cookies message) although it still allows everyone in, but not had time yet to investigate the cause which I pretty sure will be somewhere in the Wordpress settings needing putting back to what I had it set to before an upgrade reset things back to a default!
