    While I like the big engines, they require a big layout,
    My collection is the small stuff, for a layout I can afford..

     

    We all hear you.

     

    Your posts are full of knowledge we all crave

     

    Thank you..

    The Post 1930 Pollen E centre wagons conversion at Didcot

    shows 3-hole wheels, and that is how the kit is supplied.

    To confirm, the Post 1930 outside wagon pair

    are supplied with flangless spoked 3D printed

    wheels.

     

    Fabrication of the Girder about a piece of brass

    sheet could also work as ballast.

     

    A light reaming of the turntable mounts will ease

    movement.

    Phil,

    I noted your model sometime ago.

    The pony wheel  needs to be 9mm and the spoke pattern

    for the 14mm drivers is different, with w/b 21mm. Inserts provided.

     

    The kit has detail backhead, with an open through cab: traversing

    jacks on the footplate The motor is fully contained in the body.

     

    Parts are painted before assembly for a crisp model.

     

    It is an expensive model to produce using FXD, FUD, WSF for the

    3D printed parts with bought-in parts to provide a running model

    excluding wheels.

    I like the firebox glow - very effective. What a shame that firehole flap won't pivot up!

    We were mindful of this with the S&DJR 25a - the flaps are slightly open to

    give flicker into the cab, and the grate has raking holes in the frames.

    Mashima to close down

    Some of these can motors, as I posted above with a gearbox,

    are used in professional video equipment. I don't think they can

    all be junk.

     

    If Mashima are so good, I am surprised the Customer List, Tooling 

    and Rights of the business is not bought by a competitor.

     

    We have seen this happen too often as generations change.
