mikemeg Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mick, I know it's not your intention but as an advert for these Archer rivets, your O4/8 certainly does show them off to tremendous effect. If you have already can you direct us to a posting which shows where from and how much for these products. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the page for Surface 'Things', which of the rivet sheets is 4mm applicable (yes, I know, I'm just lazy!) Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It depends.... they come in (I think) 3 sizes; best bet is get a mixed sheet, that'll show you all the available options, then work from that to decide what's best for any given project.

micklner Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 SD990011 for "normal" 4mm SD99013 for big uns They were cheaper direct from USA when I bought them and good service. However I think USA postage rates have increased so compare total prices first. Progress as well while I am typing 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemeg Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mick, Does that mean that there is a UK or European stockist? You'll have gathered that I fancy trying these out! Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi All, My 'local' Model Junction in Slough stock rivet transfers as do several Internet suppliers. Put either 'Micro Mark Rivet Transfers' or 'Archer Rivet Transfers' into Google and away you go! Micro Mark do a really nice starter set with tread plates, louvred and lots of interesting rivet arrangements on as well as several different pitch and size arrangements of rivets themselves. I hope this helps! All the best, Castle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micklner Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Another NRM based A3 Windsor Lad. Boiler repainted and re Lined.This now has has the correct Banjo Dome , Washout plugs moved, top Boiler joint and Smokebox filled, Brassmasters detail etch used for:- Front steps, Reversing and Ashpan rods, Footplate supports, handrails ,etched doors and single Chimney. I have had to show this with the previous A3 New type non corridor Tender I repainted. So far no luck on obtaining a further replacement. Hornby have only done it in BR so far and the cancelled Book Law would have had one it fitted too. IF anyone has one?? to sell ? I only need the body a PM will be appreciatted. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemeg Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Mick, That A3 does look mighty fine. Have you ever re-done the lining on the driving and bogie wheels for apple green livery, the fine white line? If so, did you use a lining pen or are there any 'little white circles' transfers available for the purpose? Cheers Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clecklewyke Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 SD990011 for "normal" 4mm SD99013 for big uns Oh no, as well as rivet counters we now have rivet measurers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Mike No never attempted to line them. I have a C7 in the pending pile so I will have to try soon !! Fox do a very expensive lining sheet listed asthe Flying Scotsman set. No idea if they would be willing to sell that part sheet of the set on its own. Not that well printed either,the lines are thicker than Hornby manage and were slightly off center on the sheet I had. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other question; whose paint and colour (assuming that there may be more than one apple green) have you used on the A3. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemeg Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Oh no, as well as rivet counters we now have rivet measurers. Aye, lad, I told you this was a rivetting thread. I'll get me coat after that one! Cheers Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
