Coach bogie Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) Here is one of Mike Edges jackshafts I built for a friend along with an Armstrong Whitworth for the same layout. The latter was built alongside a GWR version for me for once. I was not too keen to take on the jackshaft but I had nothing to be concerned about. It went together without any issues and is free running. Mike Wiltshire At last a day off where I can take pictures in daylight. Here is the GWR version. To be honest, I made a mess of the chassis trying to be clever and compensate it. Runs much better in rigid form, though it really needs a new set of frames - one day! I know the number transfers are wrong but I am still awaiting a set of 7mm buffer beam numbers, I was promised a while back that are the right size, hint, hint , if you are reading this.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted February 19, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 19, 2014 The etch for converting the LMS 2MT Ivatt to the BR variety is £12 (postage included), we don't have too many of these as yet, first come first served.

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2014 This week I have received from Mike a new JE kit built loco to weather - I did say I would put a picture of the clean loco on here - enquiries should be directed to Mike please.. So here it is - an ex GC D10 The loco will be available separately ( price £30) as will the tender (price TBA). And just to show how nice it is here it is with a Bachmann D11 (with modified splasher brasses) The weathered loco will appear here when I have finished it... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted February 22, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22, 2014 We have sold a few D10 etches before, this is a revision with a slightly higher price (£30). We also have the tender now on a production etch, this will have mouldings (axleboxes and water filler/pick up dome) as well, price not fixed yet. This kit will build most of the GC tenders, 3250 and 4000 gal. versions, except the last ones with self trimming bunkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 To show how much kit development has moved in 50+ years here is what you would have to work with to build an LMS jack shaft. The parts all came on single sheets, were not etched through and had to be cut carefully out without distorting the brass! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151237522727?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 The Judith Edge kit is so much simpler in comparison Mike Wiltshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2014 So ... take one JE D10, a good photo supplied by Mike, some inks, brushes and weathering powders and.... a dirtyish D10. Great looking kit - so I want one ....... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 A queue is going to form methinks. And this is going to join the N5 as a production etch, together with tenders? This year is going to be expensive... And I'm nae complaining - wibble! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted February 25, 2014 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2014 Just to let everyone know we have soldall the BR 2MT etches for now. At the moment this is filling space on the D10 etch so supply depends on that but if more are needed it will go somewhere else as well. GC 4000/3250 gallon tender will be £30, not sure about postage as this will have resin moulded axleboxes and water filler/dome. Nearly ready is the next LOR train, 1895 40ft motor car stock. We have some etches for these but no mouldings or instructions yet, we've not worked out the price either. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsetan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Just to let everyone know we have soldall the BR 2MT etches for now.... I'm still going to be sending you a cheque for a pair, Mike, and you can hold it until the next batch is ready, whether that's three/six/nine/twelve months or whenever.
