apt-e

Hi all, N gauge PoP2 99% complete I need to add draw gear and the mk5 hk pack. It's designed already but not printed yet. Looks like cost will be around £105 now as I have managed to locate some other wheels. Price of n wheels has gone up a lot sadly. Anyone interested, drop me a line. And I AM WORKING ON AN N GAUGE APT-E I was working on it when revolution announced they where going to do it, So I stopped with mine. Its now back on......

Hi Ian, Your buffet parts are really, please drop me an email. Regards Paul.

Sides done and altered the ride level of Pilot. Pleased with progress of this prototype.

Sides going on...........

Hi All, A bit of an update. N gauge PoP 2 now on test bogies and mounts More to do but its on its way for anyone interested. Regards Paul

Hi All, I have been working on the N gauge PoP 2 model. Done several re-designs, hence no updates for a little bit. Been working on the bogies and bogie mounts this morning. Here are a few photos of the 4th prototype going together. Regards Paul

Hi all, While I am recovering, and trying to keep sane after watching daytime TV, I have been working on the n gauge version of PoP 2. Pilot completed and pc 3/4 well in hand. I will post some photos when I am happy with what I have designed so far. Regards Paul.

Hi all, Just to say I have had a number of emails with various questions but sadly I have had a medical issue a week last Sunday which meant I ended up in hospital. I am home now but will take some weeks to recover. I will reply as and when I feel able to. Regards Paul.

Hst prototype nose, hm, like that idea. Added to list. APT-U ? Powercar and dvt?

Happy New Year, everyone. It's been suggested I should design a kit for a dummy apt-p 1980s powercar. Would anyone be interested in this type of model? Just testing the water. Regards Paul.

Hello one and all, I would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Long live the APT. Regards Paul

If anyone can show what the new Hornby version shows, I will change the internals. However, I used all the photos and video I have to design the internals, so not sure what else can be done, as far as I can tell it was a ts coach converted to none artic bogies and that's all....... The internals are a separate set of plates, so no problem changing the internals if need be. Any help on this appreciated.

Evening all, I am pleased to announce that the next Leadley Kits model is now available to order. 00 Hornby Original APT-P Development coach. Comes with R8096 wheels for both bogies and connections to enable it to be fitted into the rake next to the power car as with the real item. TS interior included and perspex. Cost is £43.50 inc P & P. Anyone wishing to order, please drop me an email to LEADLEYKITS@GMAIL.COM stating APT-P Dev coach. As always, orders need only be paid for when kit printing has been completed and ready for dispatch. I am currently working on : N Gauge PoP 2 N Gauge Lab 4 Hastings 00 Lev 1 00 Maglev with track..... Regards Paul

Oh no, hope you are on the mend. I have not forgotten about the buffet insides you are after. Dev coach will be up for sale later next week also. Regards Paul.

A few photos of the APT-P Dev coach running after design completion and a few hours test running. Tested being pushed and pulled. Regards Paul.

Morning All, Sorry for the lack of updates in the last few weeks, new job has taken all of my time. News is, the APT-P dev coach has had its running tests and I am pleased to say all is well. When I get some time I will post a more complete update on this. More models on the way.............. Regards Paul

New dev coach coupling under test, so far, so good. Regards Paul.

I started a new job this week, so will get this model finished as soon as I can. Prototype has been running, but needs a little tweaking before I will be happy with it. Paul.

Couplings fitting In prototype and all else seems OK. More to come.....

Got the ride height sorted now and the coach mounted on its bogies. Working on the besare Hornby coupling now so it can be run with the old model, or converted to run behind a standard test train. More to come......

Test fitting. Not mounted on its point yet so it's ride height is not correct yet. New bt12 / 32 bogies, sizes and design taken from many photos of the dev coach. Roof not glued in place yet also. Working on the couplings tomorrow. Regards Paul.

A bit of an update. APT Development Coach prototype under construction. Regards Paul.
