VIDEOMIKE123 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 A few years ago I bought a non running Metro which had been built to P4 standards whilst I model in EM. I also bought a Perseverance chassis kit which must have been quite old as it has no diagrams or pictures in it at all, just written words. I'm part way through construction but some diagrams of what goes where would now be useful. I don't know if these instructions were ever updated with deawings like the other chassis' I have biult but if anyone has one, can i get a copy please?

hayfield Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I have a set of instructions for a 14xx, which is much the same but the other way round. Happy to scan it for you. I also have a copy of Sharman's flexi chassis (which I cannot find) which may also assist with options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIDEOMIKE123 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 Many thanks for your offer, but I also have the 14XX instructions, having built one a few years ago. I've already built the basic chassis for the Metro with compensation. Unfortunately, it's the small details like brake fittings etc which I believe are different on the Metro. I'll have a look for my 14XX instructions next because, as you say, they might be helpful. I'll also dig out my Jim Russell loco books, the photos there may be useful.

hayfield Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Perhaps buying a set of Southeastern Finecast instructions may be better, plus let you know what parts are now available as spares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIDEOMIKE123 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Can you buy South Eastern Finecast instructions on their own? I'll check that out tomorrow. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I buy parts from Dave (at SEF) to replace broken/missing parts or just buy the additional parts that come in the Southeastern Finecast kits to update the Older Wills kits. If you send a large stamped self addressed envelope to Dave for a list of spares available for the kit (F180 GWR Metro). You will find an exploded diagram will arrive showing the parts and their cost, this initially will show what is now available and its price. Just ask how much a full set of instructions are when you place an order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 IIRC Branchlines now market the ex-Rod Neep/Perseverance Metro so May well have updated the instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took notice of the Metro because I have one in my kit mountain and it is on my build list. I have a number of Perseverance kits and none I recall had anything but written instructions. They have been described as scratch aids so not ideal as a starter kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassey Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 @VIDEOMIKE123 I have the instructions for both the Perseverance Metro chassis and full kit. If you PM me an email address I can send you a copy. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They market a etched Metro kit and it has Rod Neep on the etches. This one is a complete kit though. Regards, Craig W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
