White Metal Kits

[ZAR]

I have recently been given a number of white metal and brass loco kits, some started and others not. They include the Nu-Cast LNER Q6/NER T2 locomotive and the K's GWR Bulldog amongst others.  Regrettably the kits have all been opened "for inspection" by the previous owners and in the process, the assembly instructions have disappeared into some unknown vault. Clearly there are some parts missing which in itself is not a daunting task.  I need to a) check to see what is missing and b) particularly with the Q6/T2 determine which parts are to be used from the selection.  I have looked at photo on the net but still have some outstanding questions.  They are both wonderful loco's which I would like to complete so if any kind soul out there can assist with electronic/scanned copies of the build instructions for these locos, it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you got a list of the kits without instructions - I may have a set of nucast instructions (will have a look at the weekend)

Thank you for your response.  Your efforts are much appreciated. The only Nu-Cast model in question is the Nu-Cast LNER Q6/NER T2 locomotive.  The others are K's, specifically the Bulldog/Dukedog. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards

I might have a set of Dukedog instructions,  I will have a look later or Saturday when I next get to play trains but really its a pretty simple kit to assemble and a total  ******* to make run properly.   It sits too high as intended,  The early Bulldog chassis is pretty good with Romford  wheels and cranks pre assembled  but later they came with the tiny motor and plastic cranks.  My Bulldog is looking like getting a motor in the tender and a driveshaft  (Airfix 14XX)  to the loco wheels.   Bulldog and a very troublesome K's Dukegdog  are both in the to do box.I had a kit bulit  Airfix City or Truro  with Romfords etc  which was hilarious as testing the chassis without the body it was so unbalanced with those whirling cranks  lt constantly fell on its side.
