Pete Haitch's concerns about traversing curves have now been addressed and a chassis modification now allows for sideways movement of the centre (still flanged) wheel but with a supported axle as the pinpoints on the middle axle are now removed. 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

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.

Hi Steve,

If I order a couple of '9905 - 12 ready-made GWR passenger vehicle numbers of your choice'; would it be possible to have them in wagon no. font/format similar to the 16910 etc. on the 4225 tool van sheet? 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.

Hm, hang fire. 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.

Fantastic news - many thanks, I shall spend the time compiling lists of vehicle numbers ready for when you go live.

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 !

That is not my experience! I am still waiting for a response to an email last November and resent in January!
