RMweb Gold k22009 Posted April 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2023 Does anyone know of a supplier for LMS/GWR style mud hole door covers? These are usually positioned at the corners of Belpaire fireboxes. Colin at Gibson's sells what i believe are the LNER type (4M814), but i've not seen anyone selling the LMS/GWR version in 4mm. Malcolm Mitchell used to include some nice copper ones with his kits, and i'm pretty sure i've seen white metal versions on Finecast kits. If i can't find any i'll try knocking some up from thin copper sheet, i'll make a recess in some hard wood and try pressing some out from thin copper sheet.

RMweb Gold ianLMS Posted April 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2023 Not sure if they could be sold seperately but I had some included in an Alan Gibson Jubilee kit i am building. I took a mold of them to see if i can make some from resin for future projects. They are a little chunky and sit quite proud but i could have made an indent in the firebox if i had thought about it more. Filing them down was a tad difficult due to them being so small.
