RMweb Gold traction Posted September 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 5, 2014 In the confirmation letter it states:- 1st Delivery issue 1 only 2nd delivery issue 2 and 3 + A3 print + Magnifying glass 3rd Delivery 4 issues + Binder and dividers and free coasters if you pay by credit/debit card or direct debit 4th delivery 4 issues 5th delivery 4 issues + tool kit. This will change slightly if you subscribe from issue 2, but thats pretty much it. Cheers Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelpara Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 There is a facebook group for the partworks of whom a few of us are working on building different variations of the A4s using the partworks (who knows we may come up with the entire A4 class between us multiple times!) Anyone else that wants to join us for swapping hints, tips and advice is more than welcome. https://www.facebook.com/groups/221538741371836/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cctransuk Posted September 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2014 Listed here as a four part test http://www.nationaltitlefile.co.uk/ntf/uploaded/Test_Partworks.pdf I was simply pointing out that at least one major outlet seems to have stopped keeping the thread title, using the shelf space instead for a publication that will have much less appeal to the proverbial 'man (aka person) in the street'.

modelpara Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have been informed that issue 2 is due out today. Has anyone seen it yet?

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I was simply pointing out that at least one major outlet seems to have stopped keeping the thread title, using the shelf space instead for a publication that will have much less appeal to the proverbial 'man (aka person) in the street'. For clarity, my post you quoted there was from February when this partwork was a test. It isn't now. It's the full run. It will vanish from the shelves after about four issues though. After that you'll need to order it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unevenmass Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Asda on Isle of Dogs has issue 2. The weight suggests metal rather than plastic parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter220950 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Asda on Isle of Dogs has issue 2. The weight suggests metal rather than plastic parts The ones I have just purchased in Droitwich are definitely plastic, I shall probably just buy issue No 3 then build up on a spare un-built Scotsman base that I have Either that or wait for a couple of years for all the un-built ones to come out of the cupboard on E-bay for about £300.00 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I link from here it asks me to log in - but I'm already logged in so that makes me suspicious. If you give me the name I can find it.

Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The ones I have just purchased in Droitwich are definitely plastic, Are you sure? Mine are definitely pre-primed metal castings. Zamak I assume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ROSSPOP Posted September 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have a sneeky feeling there are both plastic and metal body parts, as there was only one available to me at the back of the store, maybe this was from the initial run out earlier in the year......... Someone tell me otherwise!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfsboy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Just a quickie about the cellulose thinners.I have stripped many US brass locos in thinners sometimes leaving them immersed for ages .The brass will still tarnish through it though .Ferric chloride will rot brass as will vinegar .You can use acetone to remove most protective laquer .The projects looks very interesting but I dare not get involved .so many other projects,,,,,:-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd better get some stronger drills if it's Mazak ......... Well you've got plenty of time to do it. Drilling's all there is this week unless you want to follow the instructions and fit the fragile whitemetal lamp irons at this stage. BTW is anyone else missing the screws that are supposed to be in this issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
