RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted April 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 Seems there's a problem with the site, looks like he's on to it though. Back up and running now by all accounts. His site's database had run out of space, so he's bought some more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted April 3, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 3, 2018 I think these look great, but at nearly £10 a pop, I really can't justify the spend: http://www.finescale.org.uk/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=Crank&product_id=3577 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 link Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi Chris, The C&L parts do look the bizz but at a price. I went for the cheaper version that Southwark models use to supply which is an etch of loads of cranks and bits and bobs. These are now sold through Roxey at £7.00 if I remember rightly. Hope this is of some help, Martyn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you let me know that the C&L compensator isn't the right type. I can now spot a compensator but not differentiate the regional types. Hopefully the 7mm version of this etch will give me something more appropriate: http://www.roxeymouldings.co.uk/product/884/sbm4102-lswr/sr-point-signal-cranks/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
