johnarcher Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Has anyone, by any chance, an instruction leaflet for a Slaters D14 Brake Third kit, that they would be prepared to spare, sell, copy, loan or whatever? I picked up a kit on eBay, the kit seems OK but the instruction booklet in it is for a Midland 6-wheeler. Which is of little help, especially with the bogies. I could return the kit, but I'd like to use it if possible, they're not that easy to get hold of. Actually I suppose the instructions for any of the Slaters Dean clerestories would be useful, if anyone can help.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted November 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I have the instructions for the diagram C10 all third. If no-one comes up with the right ones, let me know and I'll scan them and PM them to you. There are several pages on the bogies.

johnarcher Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Thank you, I'll let you know. Yes, I have read comments about the complexity of the bogies - did you do them as they come? Are they worth the elaboration, or could one use kit parts to make, basically, cosmetic sideframes to go on a MJT CCU?

johnarcher Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 I have a set but the pdf file is too big to send as a PM when I tried that method to send it to you, so if I can have an email I will be able to send it to you. Thank you, I have PM'd you my email address. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnarcher Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thank you, I have received it OK. I assume you have made one of these, how did you find it to put together? Thanks again John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwinian Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thank you, I have received it OK. I assume you have made one of these, how did you find it to put together? Thanks again John Hello John, I built one of the all thirds when they were relatively newly out. The body went together fine IIRC but the bogies were a bit of a fiddle. They do work but they are not very free running. I wouldn't build them according to the instruactions again but would try to fit pinpoint bearings and forget the suspension system. Mine was for 00.

DaisyDots Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi, have only just come across this thread. I have three Slater's kits, bought on eBay over ten years ago. None of them have the instructions. Being a relative newbie there is no way I can attempt a build without them. Could anyone help? Am quite willing to give my email address if required. Many thanks in advance. Kits are all 4mm. Dean non-corridor brake third (Ref. 4C015) GWR clerestory all third (Ref 4C08) & GWR clerestory 1st / 3rd composite. Regards, Chris.

johnarcher Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have the D14 instructions that I started this thread to get hold of, so if that would help PM me an email address and I should be able to send them (unless the excellent God's Wonderful Railway instructions supplier, through whose generosity I got them, has already done it).

RMweb Gold 81C Posted August 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2017 It did cross my mind to ask Andy York to put a database of kit instructions in a separate thread but I think copyright laws might kick in for those companies still going, does anyone else have any ideas.
