    There are a few more designs in the GER section. I like the look of a few of the other drawings. Marc There are a few more designs in the GER section. I like the look of a few of the other drawings. Marc

    I have just found this drawing on the revamped HMRS web site https://hmrs.org.uk/drawings/cattle-wagon-9ft-w-b.html. Looks interesting. Might have to build one for myself. Marc

    If I could, I would 3D print all of our parts including wagon bodies rather than print the pattern and cast. Its down to cost. However, in the years we have been using 3D printing price has moved fro £1500 for a 2plk open the same wagon would be £20. Marc

    As it looks like my membership of this "axis of evil" is the cause of my hair loss I'm off to buy a big black revolving chair and a hairless cat. Now how do you fit a "Giant Lazor" to a layout? Marc

    I know doesn't make sense. But as he is not the easiest person to get hold of (ie Email or web site) then people will go potty for the kits on Ebay. Marc

    Yes we will be there with a few new things. Surrounded by plastic castings etches and boxes at the moment. We will have the prototypes of our "Ready to Run" GER tram loco. Also just about to start building the next batch of prototypes. We have started removing white metal castings from all our kits and replacing them with 3D printed plastic or etched brass. I will post the list of new and restocked kits on my blog. its going to be coach and brake van central shortly. Marc

    The springside kit has a machined brass chassis and coupling rods and the top is white metal. They do come with everything wheels, pickups, motor and gear box. Marc

    I belive Adrian has actuall thrown in the towel as he isn't listed for Telford. I was told that his condition was terminal. The springside kit is ok but very heavy, and there is a RTR one from Minerva. Mar

    We cheated with our "Ultramarine Works" we didn't use cards, we had a bag of large coloured barrels and smaller coloured barrels in the wagons. We got kids to pull five barrels from the bag and they were placed on a loading bank next to where the wagons were going to be shunted to. Marc

    We do the larger GER dia 7 cattle van. Having said that there are some missing wagons in the grey LNER books. I know of at least 4 wagons contemporary wagons that are missed. Marc

    Just the one. It was bought to run on one of their light railways on the north Kent coast, but was replaced by a railmotor before it got there. I think it was used for shunting in London. marc

    I was told Hobby Holidays had stopped trading but I could be wrong. As we retool kits and move from white metal to printed plastic we will make parts available on our shapeways site. They aren't cheep but the delivery is very quick. Marc
