RMweb Gold MarshLane Posted May 18, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Almost all our kits start off in 4mm scale, other scales later. We are gradually extending the range of 7mm kits as and when I can find time to build them. We have just got some more 7mm Hunslet 15" 0-6-0STs in stock.Thanks for the quick response. If expressions of interest are wanted for the 7mm Scunthorpe Hunslet Bo-Bo (caught the auto-correct this time!') then I'm definitely interested! Also for the Normanby Park 'Half' version as well.

auld_boot Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I promise I won't hold you to it, but is there any ETA for the 7mm PWM650? How far down the queue is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Any more progress on the 7mm Ruston 88DS, Michael? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted May 26, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2016 Test etch 88DS should be finished in July, I've also got a 48DS test etch - and (in no particular order) Harton No2, PWM 650, Hunslet 05, EE/HL 0-6-0, Steelman 6wh, AB 649 0-6-0DH, HE 16" 0-6-0ST. There's a long list of 4mm test etches to build as well, just a matter of finding enough time...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cctransuk Posted May 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 29, 2016 The more people ask, the longer it may take! Bodes well for potential kit sales, though. I know there has been surprise in some quarters at the enthusiasm with which an accurate and comprehensive range of components for GT3 has been greeted.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted May 30, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2016 Little voice at the back; Sir! Sir! Dorman Long Sentinel! Brush 0-4-0DE! Brush 200hp will be the next BR loco kit (D2999), probably early next year. The Sentinel will have to wait for a second test etch. Next new kit will be the Consett A class 0-6-0PT in September. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Max Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 How are things progressing with the LNER V4 "aid to scratchbuilding"? Must be progressing well, already got my set of etches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted May 30, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 30, 2016 V4 etches all gone, I don't want to repeat that one because there were major errors in it which had to be corrected with a supplementary etch. If there is enough interest I could do some more of a revised version - I think that's two so far but I'll need more than that to make it worthwhile. Fowler 3P is waiting until I've built one then there will be a revised production etch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is enough interest I could do some more of a revised version - I think that's two so far but I'll need more than that to make it worthwhile. Errors or not, it still looked very attractive. BTW, the GCR tender which goes with the D10 - would that be suitable for the D49 as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted May 31, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 31, 2016 The one I built had the errors corrected. The GC tender is standard for all except the self trimming variety which ran behind the D11s and B3s and yes the standard 4000 gal. version was used with some D49s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a kit (PDK) to build the preserved "Morayshire", so I'll keep this in mind in case the supplied tender doesn't come up to scratch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted July 23, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2016 Back to kit development now after a few weeks working on Carlisle, first up was finishing the 7mm RH 88DS test etch. This one built with the later style windows, rounded corners/rubber seals, the earlier square cornered ones will be included. No frame or buffer beam weights added, I've done moulding patterns for these but many 88s didn't have them anyway. Still to do the donkey engine cover for the third last door on this side and radiator/fuel filler caps. The radiator mesh didn't etch out properly so this has one out of the scrap box for now. View from rear shows controls on the cab front. The lack of side weights make it easy to fit the lifting brackets in the frame corners. View from underneath shows drive sprockets on each side, these will be driven from a central shaft in the production version as in our recent Sentinel. Wheels are Slater's 7122D which are on 1/8th axles, plenty of room for a gearbox on the leading axle or on the central final drive shaft when fitted. The leading axle is fixed, the trailing one runs in swinging arms and allowed to rock under a knife edge. Usual construction method, 2 x 8BA screws hold the inner frames into the footplate, 8 x 10BA screws hold the cab/casing base to the footplate, cab roof is soldered on with access from below, cab floor on footplate. Next job, finishing the 4mm Brush 200hp 0-4-0 which I started on at York this year. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
