[Pedantic mode] Isn't that the Frys one, not the Cadburys one? I didn't think Cadburys had a Sentinel [/Pedantic mode]

 

I agree, I might purchase one on that basis as well. It's a wonderful little survivor. Though if only it could be chocolate fired.....imagine the lovely smell!

Aha! There you have me - of course it was Fry's! I blame browsing RMWeb while at work. Although the two companies had merged in 1919...

Hello everyone.

 

Hopefully to be back in stock shortly is my revised 4mm scale, Austerity/J94 0-6-0ST chassis kit.

 

Some new cast whitemetal wagon detailing parts will be released shortly involving brake gear to enhance models and easy replacement in RTR wagons, in particular 8 brake clasp gear.

 

Some of the 4mm scale detailing range will now be done in lost wax brass as well one or 2 new items as I will be trying a new supplier out.

Hi Robert,

 

The Thomas Hill rebuild looks very promising, I have fond memories of shunting with one (TH164) at Barrington Cement works shortly before she was scrapped. So at least I'll have an excuse to order one...

Hello everyone,

 

sorry if ive been lazy in this but ive just copied and pasted the latest news and releases from the website as ive got to go to work in a minute. Enjoy!

 

Latest Release,

 

4mm scale, standard gauge 00/EM/P4 revised Austerity/J94 0-6-0ST chassis kit.

 

This is a much updated version of our chassis kit, not very much has changed to be honest but the inside valve gear is slightly more detailed and easier to build with tab and slot construction. The whole chassis is now on one sheet so makes my life easier and quicker when packing. Take a look at the instructions on the chassis page.

 

What has vastly improved is the instructions which now features part numbers and much clearer diagrams.

 

4mm scale, standard gauge 00/EM/P4 Streamlind Sentinel loco kit is now ready for release, instructions currently being completed for it.

 

4SLK003 Post war sentinel is now back in stock.

 

All lost wax brass ladders have been withdrawn from the albert goodall range as im trying out a new supplier.

 

However brand new patterns are being made so they are the correct shape and also feature the pins at the top for the first time. You may find the more popular ones will be rolled out first with all other variants to follow not too long after.

 

Also Whitemetal castings of the rebuilt whistle, injectors and Bulleid lights are deing withdrawn and produced in lost wax brass and nickel silver.

 

These means the items will be in the correct colours and also can be soldered easily as well as trying to ensure good quality castings with the lights and keeping stock levels up.

 

Also our first 7mm scale, narrow gauge 0-14 and 0-16.5 wagon kit shpuld be relased shortly, need to test build the chassis and do the instructions. The Cliffe Hill mineral side tipping wagon. 

 

We've just a delivery of etches so most etched kits and parts are back in stock now and altered stock levels were appropriate and what i can remember.

It's a while since I looked at your website (being mostly 4mm scale) and missed the sentinels, it was the Cliffe Hill wagons which prompted me to take a look. Do you have any plans to produce either the early or streamlined sentinel, or the Thomas Hill rebuild in 7mm scale?

 

Whilst most of my modelling of late has been standard gauge, once wheels arrive from KBScale, can see an afternoon assembling your Cliffe Hill wagon will occur...

 

Cheers,

Andrew

I am planning on doing these in 7mm scale Andrew, just awaiting the patterns from someone which has been offered to me.

 

I look forward to the results of your cliffe hill wagons and if possible, would I be allowed photos of them fully finished for the websites gallery?

Yes, of course. will photograph as I go. Won't be a straight forward build though, I want to try making them work...

 

Look forward to seeing them in 7mm scale, the Sentinels are attractively unusual. I'd not heard of the Thomas Hill rebuilds before looking at your website, they're rather nice compact machines.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi James,

 

I need to go and photograph barber in person before carrying on with the patterns as I want to make sure everything is correct.

 

Sadly I won't be going up there for the next few months as I'm launching Shropshires first open top double decker sightseeing tour in May.

Hello everyone,

 

Unfortunately I will not be attending em north this weekend with the stand.

 

I should still be attending scaleforum next weekend provided nothing else goes wrong and maybe finally see the release of the 4mm scale Thomas hill vanguard rebuild and a unannounced new 4mm scale narrow gauge item.

 

On another note, I am now slowly going through people's orders that has been placed during the no ordering period (quite a lot in fact) so everyone will get there orders shortly as I have returned from driving buses in London for the last month.
