I think Markets also do a fatter axle for fitting into the T-H chassis blocks.

IIRC this one: MRAX/00-Hp (9/64")

Hi all,

The wheels have already been replaced with newer finer scaled wheels. Why should I want to replace them?.

Hi all,

Well I have finished this little project except for transfers. But the question still remains. What was the original owner of this engine trying to make. Is it a G5 or G7. Or something else completely different. I would like to know so that I can get the numbering right. Well as right as possible.

What has been done to the engine. upgrades before I bought it.

1/ New caste metal smokebox and door with separate dart.

2/ New front and rear caste metal spectacle plates.

3/ New bunker rails made of brass.

4/ new caste metal Westinghouse fittings 

5/ New brass chimney and dome.

6/ New safety valve fitted.

7/ New finer scale wheels.

8/ Caste metal cab front and rear fitted.

9/ Tank filler caps plus other extra details fitted.

10/ Brass front and rear buffers.

11/ Repaint into LNER.

What I have done to try and finish this project off.

1/Handrails front, Rear and boiler fitted.

2/ New brass whistle.

3/ Full set of lamp irons front and rear.

4/ Real coal.

5/ Metal coupling hooks front and rear.

6/ Vacuum pipes front and rear.

7/ floor fitted to the cab and inside of cab painted.

8/ Crew fitted.

9/ Lamps fitted.

10/ New coupling to the front(Needs painting).

11/ Full service as it was a really poor runner when I got it.

12/ Touched up the paintwork.

So that's it. Just need to know what it possibly is really.
