LBSCR Stroudley Water Cranes

[dis80786]

Hi all, 

 

First post for me!

 

I'm trying to source a ground-mounted and platform-mounted LBSCR Stroudley-style water crane in 4mm, as one each of those are what were installed at Heathfield on the Cuckoo Line. Predictably, I've found the perfect products in 7mm scale over at Ragstone Models (see picture below) but have had no luck at all in 4mm. Apparently Mike's Models used to make a whitemetal kit but these have not been available for some time. 

 

Does anyone know of anyone offering these in 4mm? 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

James

Hi James,

 

I managed to pick up a couple of Mikes Models cranes quite easily on Flea Bay....they do seem to turn up fairly often.

 

Good luck,

 

Craig.

Welcome James I hope your 4mm search for a water crane is successful.

Thanks to you both, for the welcome and for the recommendation. Much appreciated.

Sorry to bother you chaps again, but I've been trying to email 5&9 since Barnaby's post above, and the email address on their website keeps rejecting my messages. Does anyone know if they are still trading? And if they are extant, how to get in touch? Their website doesn't give much away...

5 & 9 posts on here.

Put 'Jenny Lind' in the search and that should take you to his blog.

You can then send a PM.
