vindictive Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does anyone know if the zero zephyr kits are still obtainable? I'm trying to get hold of a 2021 pannier kit but I've not seen any for a very long time.or does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of one? Thanks David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall5 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 They may be available from Adrian Swain (ABS) but he has been unwell and no longer attends exhibitions. He doesn't have a website or e-mail but he can be contacted by 'snail mail' or phone: 39 Napier Rd. Poole Dorset BH15 4LX 01202 672891. Best of luck. Ray.

vindictive Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 OK thanks very much. Will give him a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindictive Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I managed to get in contact with him and the 2021 panniers are sold out and there's no chance of him doing anymore in the foreseeable future. So unless anyone has any leads for a second hand one or is willing to sell one it seems I'm out of luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refer http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/16709-scorpio-model-kits/ This one came up on www https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/scorpio-models-gauge-kit-class-2021-479298179 Both are old kits but as this post on WT shows, a great model can result http://www.westernthunder.co.uk/index.php?threads/a-west-midlands-works.3825/page-8 Edited April 12, 2017 by LaScala 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindictive Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 It does look nice but I want a zephyr one because the thought of trying to for a pannier tank scares me to death haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it's the bunker that is a PITA. The tanks are not too difficult. Having built three panniers, I can say that the ZZ is the easiest but it is an old kit and compares to say the MOK 64xx, light years behind. The Zero Zephyr kit gets over both problems because bunker and tanks are nice resin one piece castings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grumpy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 .....Also, the MOK tanks are white metal, and the bunker is a joy to build:-) take a look at my thread.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindictive Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yeah I am fairly proficient with etched brass kits now, I just still havnt got my confidence with bending rads yet. I have a jltrt 8750 to build first and I was thinking of an mok 54xx for my next project. My dad and I plan of modelling the forest of Dean lines. I have following all of your posts with great interest Mr grumpy. You do a brilliant job! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAD Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I build the JLTRT 57XX on here a while ago. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/100797-jltrt-57xx/ It has much in common with the 8750 apart from the cab and bunker. Also the kit has one or two errors particularly the ash pan. I have lots of detail pictures of the 8750 at Didcot so if you need anything let me know. Also have a look at Heather Kay's build of the 8750 on Western Thunder, which she has just completed. It on the "What's on my workbench " section. Unfortunately it's mixed in with lots of other people's builds so takes a while to find all the posts. Cheers, Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAD Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 PS. I forgot, Sandy Harper is also building the 57XX on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindictive Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hi pad, I've read your entire thread on building the 57xx, it's what inspired me to get one! Haha. The pictures would likely come in handy as living in Brad there aren't many around here... The kwvr's 5775 is in the museum at York but everything I go I can't get anywhere near it...

PAD Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Good to hear you enjoyed the thread. I've quite a lot of photos of the 8750 taken at Didcot,including the cab interior. I was a bit naughty and ignored the do not climb into the cab sign. Let me know as and when you need something specific and I will send you a pm.
