Thanks

 

If you are after only yellow (or gold) lining then Fox do do this.

Lining in yellow - 14 lines, 298mm x 2.5mm

Code: FG1841 Scale: ANY

 

They are pretty helpful when you call, so explain what you are after and see if they do it?

Thanks I will do as I am looking for gold lining for my North Eastern coaches.

 

I think it is:

 

LMS London Midland & Scottish Yellow/Black/Yellow Coach Lining 20 Lengths each 292mm approx

Code: FRH4212 Scale: 4mm/00 £11.35

 

but it just might have been FRH4213 - the website does not give you any clues as to the difference and I seem to have discarded the reference tag!

 

The LMS used yellow/black/yellow for non-corridor and straw/black/straw for corridor (actually there was a red band either side of the black, but this is really tiny so few bother).

Ah Thanks for that. I couldn't see the black line in your photo so that would be no good for me.

Due to commitments with Portchullin and a rather busy period at work (no bad thing in a recession for a consultant!), things have been a bit slow with the workbench. However, the coach is now painted. Prior to painting (and after the grit blasting noted before), i washed it a couple of times in cellulose thinners to remove any dust and grease. I used Precision paints two pack etching primer and am very impressed with this too. Then, for the crimson lake, I used Halfords "Volkswagen Gambia Red" which I reckon is spot on. I do use a light coat of Halfords red oxide primer as an undercoat though - red can be a very funny colour to paint. Lining has commenced. Whilst I have lined with a bow pen in the past, I lost my nerve for this one and am using Fox's lining! I will put in the corners with a brush (for the straw) and then a Rotring pen (for the black).

Which Fox lining did you use?

I saw them at the NRM over the October half term but didn't take any photos. They do look superb but I am a bit concerned that they would not fit with the finish on my Kirk kits.

I mentioned I'd like to start an LNER Carriage Group a couple of days ago but there was no response. I'm in the process of building a Gresley Brake Third at the moment and have been taking photos as work progressed seeing as a few differences in construction have been incorporated. However, I've just smashed the Canon 300D to pieces before binning it. I was told ages ago these digital SLR's are not worth repairing so it has been held together with black tape since 2004. Last spring it developed an Error and would occasionally not download a shot to the memory card. I avoided most of this years steam specials to North Wales as the risk of it not downloading my shots was too risky. About an hour ago it steadfastly refused to trasnfer any further shots to the card so I dropped the camera to the floor thinking it might jolt its memory! It still would not work. I threw it against a wall and it definitely wouldn't work. So thats it, end of work benches.

Just come across this. I would be interested in an LNER coaches group. Currently working on a number of Kirk kits with teak livery.

Well I've got mine and some P4 wheels from Ultrascale. Ordered some for a friend so shared the postage. Fitted them last night although have had a slight disaster with one of the axles trying to get one of the wheels off. Gripped it too hard and crushed it. Have glued it and hopefully it will hold. Wonder how easy it will be to get a spare.
