ARCModels Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello PaulRhB, I have here one example of the 'Ironside' kit, this kit has been available, however, it is now being revamped to include a coal space either side of the firebox as well as other improvements. Many thanks. Adam. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted September 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 23, 2013 Have you considered doing them without the moulded handrails as many on here would use separate knobs and wire anyway. Or source them and include them in the kits? Looks very interesting still Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or source them and include them in the kits? Looks very interesting still Hello PaulRhB, The moulded handrails will only feature on the 'starter kits', namely the Hawthorn models, however, the Andrew Barclay models and others will not feature moulded handrails allowing for the extra detailing.

phil gollin Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hello Phil, None in the pipeline, but I may consider a few kits in the future, any suggestions? The obvious ones are the Hunslet 4-6-0T and Baldwin Class 10-12-D 4-6-0T Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Certainly interesting models, any photos of the actual products to post though please? Here are the first images of my latest kit, the Andrew Barclays 12" 0-4-0st with open back cab. The chassis shown is from the Dapol 'Pug' kit and is purely for display as the footsteps are very fine. 20 kits will soon be available within the coming weeks, and as a reminder you can still pre-order yours by requesting an order form at arcmodels@fsmail.net 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rope runner Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Interesting selection. I'd certainly be interested in a 9'' Barclay. I note the chassis you are using with your 12'' barclay is un-motorized. I assume a motorized chassis will also fit? looking good so far Paul A.

Yes, both Andrew Barclay kits are designed to fit onto the motorized Dapol and Hornby chassis, the image shown is just for display purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfsboy Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 All looks good to me .Maybe someone will do some etched chassis kits to fit as an upgrade.I'll keep an eye on all this as I like little industrial's which i know nothing about but they look busy and interesting and useful on small layouts or micros.open cabs are always fun . martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARCModels Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Notice to all interested in my Andrew Barclay 12" 0-4-0st kit I will soon be taking delivery of 20 kits of the Andrew Barclay 12" 0-4-0st, I highly recommend to those of you who wish to secure your purchase to do so in order to avoid disappointment. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hello all, The 12"/14" Andrew Barclays kit is expected to arrive imminently, there will only be 20 kits available for this first batch, so if you wish to secure your kit, please place you order now, you can contact me at arcmodels@fsmail.net and request for an order form. Please note; The referencing of 12" and 14" Andrew Barclays is a mistake, as these loco's have no noticeable external differences and therefore this kit represents them both. Thank you.

rope runner Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Adam, may I just ask which 12" and 14" Barclays you are using for measurements? SWANSCOMBE is a 12" - which contrasts very sharply with a standard 14" example I'm sure you'd agree: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6197/6119735314_635fdeb5b7_n.jpg http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6135/5987792636_87cc31a1e8_m.jpg It would be interesting to know which example you are basing your forthcoming 9" AB on also..?

Castle Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi Adam, On behalf of one of my fellow Didcot volunteers, when is Bonnie Prince Charlie (or the 'Tug Boat' as he is known at 81E due to his ship's whistle!) going to be available please? Thanks! All the best, Castle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I understand that in trying to explain myself, I have simply dug a hole. In order to secure more business, Andrew Barclay Sons & Co was one of the first producers to standardising is locomotive design, one of the great advantages of this is the ability to place different cylinder diameters to standard chassis and boilers depending on the requirements of the purchaser, therefore Andrew Barclay's medium sized 0-4-0st could be fitted with either 12" or 14" cylinders without any other alteration and with no external differences, my kit can therefore represent loco's of both cylinder diameters. I hope this clears it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hello, I am expecting a very limited production of 'Bonnie Prince' Charlie' before Christmas (hopefully) with a larger batch in the new year. You can place you order now and those of whom I receive first will secure one from the initial batch. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Good news! Andrew Barclay 12"/14" 0-4-0st is NOW available Those who have already secured their purchase shall receive theirs shortly. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCModels Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 After some consideration I have decided that due to the confusing nature the recently released Andrew Barclay will now just be referred to as 14" Andrew Barclay 0-4-0st and not as 12"/14" or just 12" as previously mentioned. I apologise for this confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
