Simon Moore Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Chris Any chances of you making one of these, the Barclay 0-6-0 saddle tank would be a great accompaniment to your scottish barclay you already do. Not sure if it's different in sizes etc but a possible 0-4-2 chassis option too. I'm only asking because I want one of them in both wheel arrangements. https://preservedbritishsteamlocomotives.com/works-no-2139-stewarts-lloyds-salmon-0-6-0st/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in a set just drop me a PM. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RThompson Posted December 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2020 Hello everyone, Would anyone have photos of Chris's coreless motors as I'm looking to repower a backwoods Garrett and looking into whether they would fit in the bodies?

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted December 9, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2020 A quick note of thanks to High Level Kits as the Gearbox I ordered last Friday arrived safely this morning. Given that I'm sure it was me who gave the incorrect expiry date with my payment card details, rather than Chris recording it wrongly, I'm much obliged for the call back and impromptu chat, excellent Service.

RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Has anyone else seen the new great looking website yet? http://www.highlevelkits.co.uk Looks like they are planning a full online ordering system which is excellent news. There is a message saying they are temporarily suspending service due to restructuring the business and impact of covid, just not sure how long it might be for. Their gearboxes are superb and their new coreless motors are exceptional!! I hope they return soon! Ian Edited March 3, 2021 by ianLMS 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I have a (another) gearbox on order and I had a nice email saying due to other suppliers delivery problems, there will be a slight delay in delivery of my order, which isn't a problem for me. There's plenty of other modelling work to be done. Edited March 3, 2021 by Penlan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 I have a need for at least 4 new gearboxes and motors so i am hoping the furlough will end soon. Worst case i may have to use Comet gearboxes with the dutch coreless motors from Ebay. However, like you i have several other projects i can be getting on with instead!!

Popular Post High Level Kits Posted March 3, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hello all, As has been mentioned above, we are now furloughed. This is a result of our supplies being depleted over a very busy 2020, resulting in us now being short of enough key components that things have become unworkable. Unfortunately, the furlough rules state that we have to go one way or the other, so we can no longer trade at all. Not that helpful however… We are trying to use the down-time profitably and are working behind the scenes on the new website with online ordering. There’s a lot of tinkering with settings going on, with the usual suite of problems that happen when you touch anything to do with the internet. For example, for a while, you may not be able to view the new site, or the old one, then one or the other might come on, or maybe not… emails may not get to us… and who knows what else! So, apologies for the interruption(s) - we will try and get things sorted ASAP - and thanks very much for your continued support for our business over the years. We fully intend to get things up and running again, and the new system should help us to be more efficient. Being realistic, when we are back on our feet, there’s likely to be a few teething problems with all the new stuff, but they’ll get ironed out and I may even get some time to do some design work?!… We're also working on an Instagram page. Cheers, Chris 5 2 1 1 38 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davknigh Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Great to hear about the possibility of on-line ordering Chris, I look forward to taking advantage of it in the fullness of time. Similarly I look forward to some new designs once the etchers can go back to work. In the meantime take care and be safe. Cheers, David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post High Level Kits Posted March 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2021 Really glad the site's getting the thumbs up. I'm still developing some of the content, so things are still likely to change and there'll be a few more hiccups yet, but it's getting there. One of the main aims (other than online shop) was to present the info on gears, motors and CSBs in a clear and easy-to-follow format. One major problem is that the a mail is not working properly. This will no doubt be causing some customers considerable frustration, thinking they're being ignored. I'm trying to sort the mails problem out. We are trying to use this down-time productively so will be re-ordering stock so when we are no longer furloughed we can bounce back and supply all products. Some products may have to be suspended if they take specific motors which we no have. I plan to re-design the motor bogies although I still carry reasonable stocks of 1420s so they'll keep the Lo/Long riders going for a bit. The J50 was just about finished so that won't be long in coming out and I have a Hattons' Barclay in pieces but won't be able to drop back onto that job until I can get the shop side of things running smoothly. Please browse the site the info on it. You can download any of the instructions as PDFs. More later. Chris. 22 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium MJI Posted March 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2021 Hello Chris When you redesign the motor bogies it would be worth adding a bit extra to allow non RTR fitment. I will be buying one soon and I will want it be mounted at the top. Will be in a heavily butchered Triang floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilks Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Chris Hope furlough doesn't last too long and suppliers can begin to supply again. Will you be working on a chassis for the Hornby B2 Peckett 0-6-0st? All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I have no experience of loco kit building and a recent stroke means I never will, now. But I want to get a High Level 4mm J72 chassis built for me and into a 3D printed GNSR D class in 3.5mm scale (If I can compare drawings in the two scales). Who does that sort of thing for the many thumbed amongst us? And at what kind of price? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfire Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Really liking the layout of the new website. I'm very much looking forward to being able to order online. One thing I noticed is the Slimliner range of gearboxes appears to have dropped off. Is this just a website error or are they being discontinued?
