    On Hawes we have gauge widening through the point work for the sisdings which are 1:5 crossongs. A class X 4-8-0 happily goes through these. Hawes is P4.

    Requires a password and the roman name for York doesn't work

    All the NER 6 wheel carriages had gone by the end of 1930. Source LNER Supplement to carriage stock book 1919. Copy in my possession.

    The MJT horn block allow for one fixed axle. Even if you don't use the sliding one it will be cheaper than a new chassis.

    On the Hawes branch the BTPs were replaced by class A and then they were replaced by G5s in the thirties. All the six wheelers on the NER had gone by then

    What livery is that meant to represent?

    I am assuming the jig is the same as the P4 one. The reason for filing half way and bending is to ensure the the nose of the ve is solid all the way down. The 2 piece that are filed are oposite so one is filed upright and the other upside down. To do the bend insert into a small vice up to the bend point and bend using that.

    Same here, also go to first new post often starts earlier in the thread

    P4 is not "far more difficult" than OO or EM if you are building kits. It requires the same amount of care to get good running. It is more difficult than opening a box. I could nvever get OO vehilcles to stay on the track as I can't build them perfectly square, howver my P4 vehicles run perfectly.

    Here is my completed model of the 52f kit. Lining could do with being redone

    Here is mine. I found the build to be straight forward.

    1737 was at Shikdon from built until 7/1/35. Yeadon picture pg63.

    If you look at the picture those are the flanged wheels.

    If the sides are pre printed i would hazard a guess at PC Models.

    You already have everything you need to build a compensated chassis if that is what you want. I build in P4 so compansated is just about de riguer but not so in EM. The diference in price of Markit wheels to gibson alamost pays for the GW press. It depends on how many more compensated locos you intend to build. Quartering without one isn't too difficult.. A back to back guahe will help although the back to back can be set with a vernier gauge if you have one.

    If they are on the centre line of the wheel then the up and down movement should't be a problem unless your track is awful

    my locos follow the same path with the exception of a 52F T1 which has plungers. It was the easiaet loco to get running without tweaking I have built.

    There is an earlier single volume by Tatlow on LNER wagons which would probably we adequte for your needs. Would have to be second hand though .

    Sheet lead cut to size

    The running lines are Slater limestone ballast, the sidings are Modellers mate ash ballast which unfortunately is no longer available. A further view showing 2/3rds of the layout.

    Following on from previous request for more information on Hawes here are a couple of pictures
