Milholme Models N4/N5

[Helmdon]

I've just come into possession of a superbly built 4mm body and chassis of the above, even liveried correctly for my period and area*. However, days of digging - possibly not looking in the right places - and I'm still none the wiser on where I'm going to get driving wheels, motor/gears for it!

 

Anyone got any thoughts please? 

 

*This has pretty much been the holy grail for me as a Northants modeller. The seller had it down as an N4, which going by bunker length and safety valves I would agree with, but it has been liveried/numbered as an N5, so I'm thinking change the safety valve and ignore the bunker. Woodford Halse's N5 allocation lives again!

Wheels, Markits (either direct or from a reseller like, say, Wizard Models).  Scalelink are a cheaper alternative and both will sell you axles and nuts as well.

 

Motor/gearbox - High Level.   Use their gearbox planner to work out the best combination for your model.

thanks - new to building loco kits. I needed an N5 and (perhaps naively) think that wheeling and engineing this might be ok....
