lapford34102 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi, Whilst looking for an AWOL instruction sheet unearthed this. Donated a little while ago it's an EM point kit. Having a closer look it has a pre-soldered "V", planed blades and shaped checked rails etc. Sleepers are pre-cut to length with pads rather than continuous copperclad. Looks very well made complete with comprehensive instructions. There's a date of 1976 on the plans. Just curious if anyone has any further information. Thanks Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted August 30, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Stu, I manufactured those in the 1970s and 1980s. Not since. What do you want to know? That EM one appears to be supplied with traditional solid-fixing tie-bar, GPX blades and milled stock rails. The alternative was a pivot-fixing tie-bar, PP (prototype-pattern) blades, and a pre-formed set bend in the stock rail (as in the P4 kits). cheers, Martin.

lapford34102 Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Hi Martin, Many thanks for that. Yes, solid tie bar and milled stocks. Had never heard of the name before - old enough that I probably should have ! - and just interested. Looking at the instructions would imagine it was part of a product range. Curiosity now satisfied though now I know it's heritage tempted to put it all back in the packaging as it would be almost heresy to build it now :-) Thanks Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
