ABS V4 2-6-2 Kit

[Staffordshire]

    Hello, 

 

      I am hoping that someone maybe able to help ...

 

      I have just purchased an 4mm ABS kit for the LNER/BR   V4   locomotive,  a kit I have been looking to source for a while.

 

     My problem is that the kit comes without Instructions,  so I would be grateful if anyone with a set of instructions, could possibly

help me by sending me a copy.    Obviously postage costs etc will be  re-imbursed.

 

   Thanks in advance, 

 

       Ian Bradford

I managed to get one online today, it apparently has full instructions. If so I'll happily send a copy when it arrives

As an aside does anyone know if the ABS casting business has been taken on by someone else after Adrian passed away?

 

I don't know about the casting business.

 

But some items have already reappeared.

 

The buses, road vehicles and trams are here. As well as a few figures and accessories.

Hello Ian, I've recently acquired an ABS V4 as well, though fully built. Could you send me a copy (or even just pictures of) the instructions and paperwork for the kit?

And how have you got on with building it, if you have been able to that is?

It is rather well built, but still, would rather like to have all the paper work that's missing anyway lol. Especially given she almost certainly needs to have her chassis taken apart and rebuilt with a more modern drivetrain, the bulldog she has now is...well it's showing its age, and given the gearing is ridiculously low, might as well put in a new gearbox anyway.

    Sorry unable to do so,  the kit has been built and departed (with paperwork)
