It now traverses 2nd radius happily. Similar arrangement to that in the picture above from Amandalee but only on the centre axle. Hope that helps. I bought one these clever kits when they came out . Would it be possible, please to publish a photo of the new arrangement? I’m happy to modify / bodge the middle axle myself . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Pete Haitch Posted October 25, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2023 I'm considering backdating a couple of K's siphons to pre 1904 condition and @railtec-models has produced these 4mm G.W.R transfers in ochre. Looks as if they will be ref. no. 4mm4211 (the white ones 4mm4210). Pete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would give sets of four x same number for each wagon and some spare numerals. If also in ochre it would provide a wider choice to those modellers building a number of GW siphons or other NPCC stock. Thanks again for brilliant transfers, Pete.

Hi @osbornsmodels is the roof on this model 3D printed, like the K's kit rooves, formed out of plasticard by the builder, or other? Many thanks, Pete.

I need to check how many would fit on one of the typical custom sheets. The plan is to create a parallel custom offering, as it just makes everything cleaner and my life simpler. Typically if something is knowingly ordered as a placeholder for something else which isn't advertised (which I try to discourage as most livery elements aren't inter-changeable particularly from a design perspective, even though it may appear logically similar) then it can often slow everything down. I have a few new GWR items to put live and this will be amongst them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combe Martin Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Does anyone know what Diagram no. the Ks plastic 6 wheel Siphon kit is. I've got one, packed away somewhere, built up, but it needs some attention in the 'running dept' and finishing off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
