Been hacking about at a Judith Edge Hunslet. The Association/Chris Higgs 03 chassis 'sort of' fits if you hack it about enough. Bit of a cock up on the ordering front means I have the wrong gears to make it go. I didn't get where I am today without making cock ups on the ordering front. It looks like it'll work though. Maybe.

Genuinely remarkable on so many levels. Wow.

I am ' the manufacturer' and there are still a few available in the pre-printed versions but no kits. If anyone is interested drop me a PM but they are only available in batches of ten or more. None of the very limited runs are left. Andrew

Been fiddling about with a batch of Whall style motors (or maybe 'Hine' style motors to be more accurate) and would like an opinion on the end plates. I am unable to track down any 3mm Carp Tufnol and the Whale just won't take a decent thread. I hacked one out of perspex as in the photo attached. Obviously it takes a thread etc. and ought to be tough enough for the job in hand but I wonder if anyone has any experience of perspex in this application long term? Will it degrade or embrittle so as to cause a problem? I'd like to crack on with all of the motors as a batch before I am diverted by something more compelling but if perspex is not up to the job I'll consign them to my gloat box. Alternatively does anyone know of a supply of 3mm Carp? I can source 4 foot square sheets but I don't want to have to build that many motors. Please note that I am not concerned about the electrical properties of perspex - v - tufnol.
