duff man Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi Gentlemen. I have been battling long and hard with this project it has almost been binned twice. I am now looking at replacing the plastic bogies which come with the kit. I am not that well informed on what is available, I just want to acquire a reasonable pair. I am not a rivet counter neither do I require any form of suspension. Any advice please. Thank you. Craig. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 You probably hit the 'crossed out' symbol in the heading by accident. It's easily done and then doesn't know when to let go, It should go by clicking again.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium OnTheBranchline Posted December 9, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2017 Is this a completely plastic kit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 All but the wheelsets, pinpoint bearings and nuts and bolts to attach the bogies, in the version of the kit I purchased loooooong ago. Were the buffers turned brass as well? Memory retrieval error, neurons inaccessible... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted December 9, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2017 Sorry I didn't realize Ian Kirk was only 7mm. Ian Kirk started off with 4mm models, As I recall it, he began with Gresley LNER stock that was unavailable anywhere else at the time - long before Hornby brought out their detailed Gresley corridor and non- corridor stock. Ian Kirk also produced lovely kits for others of the big four, including the GWR Monster. Jonathan Welleans posted on RMweb a photograph of his Ian Kirk Monster away back in January 2013 - here it is at post 61: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/66383-modelling-a-traditional-parcels-train/page-3 John Storey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
