Michael Delamar Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That's the one! Brilliant, especially like the 02 shunter standing down in the goods yard along with all those lovely ventilated vans David 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DavidLong Posted May 3, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2012 Mike, this gets better! But I'm a bit confused as to which scale you're working in as I've just been looking at the pictures of your split-box 40 in 7mm scale.

Michael Delamar Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I dont know myself sometimes 4mm is my scale, but got a couple of 7mm locos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

90164 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Excellent work, Michael. Maybe you should get the group to scrap Lime Street and start on Exchange instead.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Excellent work, Michael. Maybe you should get the group to scrap Lime Street and start on Exchange instead.. Matt Farrell, the man behind these kits is already working on a model of Exchange but to P4 standards so that should be something to see in due course.

Michael Delamar Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 yeah thats the main reason the kit came about because Matt wants to model Exchange, circa mid 1970s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkC Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just seen this thread - more memories brought back. I recall seeing Class 02s in the Bank Hall area too. As for the 502s themselves - 3 or 6 car formations on the Southports, 3 or 5 car on the Ormskirks. This was due to platform lengths, I believe? (I didn't do the Ormskirk line - I lived by Blundellsands & Crosby station on the Southport line). I moved away just after the introduction of the 507/508 units - they were/are soul-less compared to the 502s, in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wear Valley Wanderer Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Does anyone know if the 502 models are still being produced? It looks like E Traction have gone, but I would imagine the moulds are still out there somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi There, There are these 3d prints for the 502 that are available in various scales: http://www.rue-d-etropal.com/3D-printing/passenger-stock-lms/3d_printed_LMS-cl-502.htm For those over the water the 503: http://www.rue-d-etropal.com/3D-printing/passenger-stock-lms/3d_printed_LMS-cl-503.htm Gibbo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fantastic, thanks! I may have to put these plans on hold though as I'm currently working on my 507. The above printed 502 sections are a touch on the pricey side at being well over £ 200 for a 3 x car set. By the time I factor in motor/s, bogies, etc. I would be looking at around £ 300. As the family would probably find a plot for me under the patio if paid that sort of money out after buying the 507 kit, I may need to wait until next year!

Known as Poolies Pullmans by the men at Bank Hall shed, as Hall road superintendent Ken Poole ran the depot with a rod of iron. lots of people remembering the distinctive electrical smell, comfy seats and fearcley shutting doors.
