roythebus1 Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 I think I could do another one if I get the one one on Ebay. but can I get the driving wheels?? Markits out of stock of 21mm drivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted September 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2023 You could try Alan Gibson for the wheels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Seems I missed that despite putting it on the "watch list". there's a built-up one on there with an auction huse at £89 looks nicely finished but the other side is missing the valve gear!

roythebus1 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Well, I've decided to give up on this kit. Other bits have become damaged over the years, I'll take out the High Level motor and gearbox and the Romford wheels and chuck the rest in the scrap bin. It's taken up far too much of my time trying to get it to go right. Although I enjoy these old kits I'd rather concentrate now on getting my layout not so much finished, but running roundy-roundy. I've found a good secondhand Bachy model on Hattons at a sensible price. Anyone want an unmake Dapol kot or an Airfix tender? I may keep the tender as I prefer the loco with a small tender, though maybe not right for a Southern loco. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Well, the 2nd hand loco from Hattons turned up today, looks good and runs well. even the b-t-b are right! someone may have doctored it a bit in the past. apart from the tender to loco coupling pin being a bit broken, it looks the part. I don't like the big BR1 tender with it though, I may well use th Dapol tender instead. So if anyone wants bits of a Kemilway chassis and valve gear, let me know. Thanks everyone for your help. I've just had a delivery of wheels from Markits, so maybe my Wrenn R1 with new chassis will get done, I started that project in 1974 by super-detailing the body and fitting Romford wheels; then there's my Metropolitan F class 0-6-2T to finish, and an Airfix 4F with a new chassis... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
