simons9 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi I am converting a lima 4f to scale,have stripped everything off the body and superdetailed with a kit i got off ebay! I have fitted a JM chassis with Slaters wheels, but unsure which slatters wheels should be used on the tender chassis, can anyone help at all? I reckon either 7851m or 7851ST. I have previusly been told use 12 spoke 7851M, but 7851m are 10 spoke so a little confused Many Thanks Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a JM conversion kit for my Lima 4F, and I'm wondering if you compensated the chassis. I'm looking at his tender chassis, and I really don't like his method of compensating, so I'm thinking of using his hornblocks/bearing setup for the tender, and getting Slaters hornblocks for the loco. Did you use his compensation method? If so, what do you think of it? Thanx! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
