ARC Models; New range of 4mm scale products

[black and decker boy]

Hi All,

 

I've always felt that the demise of ARC Models was a real shame, as it gave entry-level modelers a way into industrial tank locos.

 

The kits could, with a little patience, generally be built up something nice and perfectly acceptable.

 

As I'd always wanted a slope-tanked Barclay 0-6-0, I had to give the kit a go - I've changed a lot of the fittings to suit my chosen prototype, and also fitted an etched chassis .

What kit did you use for the chassis? Loco looks lovely.

Chassis is a High Level one, from their Barclay kit but with some profile modifications. The wheel spacing isn't 100%, but the cylinders have reduced profile unlike the recommended Electrotren one, and there is of course the option of fitting more suitable wheels and gearbox.

Thank you, something to consider :-)

I spotted what appear to be a couple of ARC Models bodies on eBay this week. Go get 'em.

I'm trying to get in touch with Adam but his fsmail account has been closed.

 

Please ignore, just spotted they have closed down.

 

Many thanks.

ARC Models

8 April 2016 · 

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Due to very recent personal life changes, I have decided to close down ARC Models.
This will not be effected immediately, I will continue to sell off all current stock, these being the Barclay 14" in Post-war condition and the Barclay 18" 0-6-0t with sloping side tanks.
The latter will be the last batch I will order of any type.
To place an order, please, see my ebay page or request an order form by contacting me here on Facebook.

I thank you all for your support and kindness over the last 3 and a half year of which I have been trading, I can recollect absolutely no ill regards by anyone and it is the very strength of this industry. I can only hope that my short time as part of the industry was as worth while and enjoyable for you all as it has been for me.
And I hope that in some way that I've made a positive impact on the industry.
Best regards to all,
Adam of ARC Models.

The ARC RS&H was shortened to match a r-t-r chassis.

 

If you wade through this thread you may find some correct dimensions quoted.
