lippy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have had an etch done for Gloucester Fast Freight bogies. The bogies were fitted to UKF and Kemira Pallet vans as produced in 4mm by Lima and now Hornby. The etch is a simple fold up and solder with your own taste in brass bearings. It will need a cosmetic frame adding to suit, these being available from S-Kits and Appleby Model Engineering (AME) if still available. I now have the final sheet that I am going to have done so now is the time to order them. They are £2.90 a pair plus P&P They will be sold on a First come first served basis What you get is a pair of these. Shown with Appleby Cosmetic frame not part of the etch Please note this photo is from the test etch and the fold up part was adjusted to make it easier to fold. Please use PM to contact me if interested. Thank you Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If anyone bumps into Lee, please could they ask him to get in touch - I've bought some more of these vans, and would like to get some more bogies. Thanks, Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonhall Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks Lee, Provided they aren't too expensive I'd be prepared to underwrite the cost of an entire sheet myself - I don't need anything fancy like compensation. Jon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hello Jon If he hasn't yet done them I can see how much another etch would cost. Minimum of 29 pairs per etch so would need to see how much demand there is for them. Lee Thanks Lee, Provided they aren't too expensive I'd be prepared to underwrite the cost of an entire sheet myself - I don't need anything fancy like compensation. Jon I'll take at least 10 pairs.

robmills Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hello Jon Your the 2nd person to ask me in the last fortnight. I sold out of them and said I wouldn't be getting anymore done. However I was told Colin Craig may have done some of his compensated ones. If he hasn't yet done them I can see how much another etch would cost. Minimum of 29 pairs per etch so would need to see how much demand there is for them. Lee Hi Lee I would like 5 pairs........ Cheers Rob Mills Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
(The) Youth Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was speeking to Lee earlier and he has asked me to say he's looking into the cost of further etches. HTH Simon (who is after 11 pairs) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippy Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Further to Simon (youths) post I have looked into these etches again. I'm sorry to say that they have gone up in price again (blame China, VAT, George Osbourne, etc) I have got a price per etch in Nickel Silver and Brass. Last time I only had Brass as an option. So based on the prices inc a royalty payment to the bloke who originally did the artwork for me I'm looking at about £3.50 plus P&P which won't be cheap now Royal Mail are Privatised!! This based on Nickel Silver Brass slightly cheaper about £3.20 I won't be in a position to confirm anything until First week in New Year. Please confirm that you are prepared to pay for those you have indicated on here. Jon Hall see your messages re a full etch. Simon (youth) I take it you'll collect them. Cheers chaps and all the best for Christmas and New Year Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9JEF Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hi Lee, Can I order 3 pairs from you? Thanks Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 OK sorry folks that is all the Etches reserved for now. I May add an extra etch at some point in next few months but it would depend on additional demand. Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Deltic Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Are you planning to do another run, as I have about 10 PWA's I'd like to rebogie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to keep butting in BD, I'm not stalking you, but, Lee's etch is correct wheelbase in case you were thinking of using S Kits side frames, the S Kits etch obviously fits though. Mike.

Mike. Ah, I've just sussed that I need the Appleby bogie side frames, not S Kits, plus the etches for my PWA's. Using these etches would certainly make assembly of the S Kits bogies easier though if I want to rebogie my Lima TEA's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather worryingly I've heard John Talbot has stopped doing casting and only does transfers now. Not having adequate Internet capabilities I'm unable to contact him and confirm or deny.

Horsetan Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Rather worryingly I've heard John Talbot has stopped doing casting and only does transfers now..... I thought he stopped doing casting some years ago. People were saying back then how difficult it was to get hold of Appleby products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippy Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 In answer to the question about another run, in the short term No. Reason being the bloke who did the artwork and arranged for the etch to be made via his contacts has been seriously ill. The last thing he needs is work. I did have interest in about half an etch but given the above those people understood that it wouldn't be in the short term. If I do have another etch done I will update this page. Hope you understand Lee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethevans1986 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I would be interested in 5-10 wagons worth of etches if you do another run Lee. Thanks Gareth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted September 20, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 20, 2016 If all else fails with Lee's etches, an alternative full bogie may be on the (distant) horizon, made to allow for the oddball wheel size.

lippy Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Is there any one else wanting some Etches? Had a request for some more, but I would need a few more to make it viable. Please reply to this and send me a Personal message. Sorry no prices yet but probably gone up again since I last had them done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippy Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Ok I have enough interest to get another etch done, I have spoken to the Person who deals with the etches for his own work and he says Fine. Not got a date yet as he has just had an order done so it will be when he next has some of his own items to collect. Price is TBC but he says it won't have gone up too much, that is unless VAT goes up in the Budget. Postage however has gone up so this will be something to consider. I will contact people who have messaged me when I have the etch. Many thanks for your interest and I hope to see lots of BR Blue era diesel layouts with trains of UKF vans on the Exhibition circuit soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
