Jol Wilkinson Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Janet (Arthur's daughter) said they wanted 1.2mm x .6mm half round, which EE had apparently supplied. I was a little surprised as I had never seen that size, the nearest being 1.0mm x .5mm or 1.5mm x .75mm. Hobby Holidays supply both these. Metalsmith don't do the 1.5mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbles Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 The size would appear to be imperial which would be 3/64 inch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that having now identified the wire as 16swg I have also found it on ebay. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaziii Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 New to the thread here! I tried calling the number listed on the catalogue that was posted on this thread, and it directed me to a lady who had no association with Mr. Arthur Kimber. I double checked and made sure I did not dial the wrong number by mistake. I believe he might have changed it. Does anyone know his current phone address, unless it really is +44 (0) 1253 725143? Cheers, Julien. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post ArthurK Posted January 30 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted January 30 Hello Everyone! Thank you for all your enquiries and best wishes with regard to Dad's health. He continues to do as well as expected in the circumstances. A few of you are aware that I'm in the process of updating the list of available stock, which is taking much, much longer than expected. All I can say is that it shouldn't be much longer and to thank you for your patience. Regards, Janet (Daughter of Arthur) 4 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyViking Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Thanks for the update. I hope your father feels better soon.

RMweb Premium ArthurK Posted May 12 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12 Hello Everyone! I've moved the NE Kits Availability and Price List onto this page, where it should have been in the first place. :) Many thanks for the interest being shown in purchasing kits. I'm going to be busy wrapping and posting next week. We now only have one F8 left in stock and I think Dad is quite pleased by the way they are selling.

micklner Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Janet, What is the situation/availablity column with the out of stock kits please ? They are shown :- out of stock waiting not available I presume the "not available status" means they will never be made again ? Re the other two status's are/will you making more/accepting pre orders on either option in the future please ? thanks Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the other two status's are/will you making more/accepting pre orders on either option in the future please ? Goodness me! What a lot of questions! :) Out of stock = We haven't got any and there's no-one waiting for one. Waiting List = We may have some BUT we need to contact folk on the waiting list first. Not Available = We presently have an issue with the production of the kit, which we hope to resolve. Enquiries and pre-orders about any of the kits are always gratefully received, regardless of the status marked up in the last column. Please just get in touch and, despite my limited knowledge, I will help you in whatever way that I can. Kind regards Janet (Arthur's daughter) 4 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Duncan, Unfortunately, Dad has got to the point where he is not well enough to complete the Q7, which saddens both of us but at least his other kits are still available.

RMweb Premium Johan DC Posted May 14 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 14 Hello Janet, are any of the available or waiting list kits recommended for a novice? I’ve never build a loco before (apart from old Airfix and Revell ones) but I do have experience in wagon building and brass soldering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
