Talking of Bloaters; the Bristol exhibition! If any of you West of England folk are going, do say hello to my pals on Grantham the Streamliner Years. I pass my best wishes to you through Steve, one of the Operators; (owner of Finsbury Cross). Please don't be afraid of the Loco's on that layout. Sincerely, Mad Duck

PDK Bulleid 5500 gallon Tender Kit

I shall contact him if all else fails. Thanks R. p -
Has anyone by any chance built a PDK 5500 Bulleid Tender Kit? I've got one but no Instructions. Not the end of the World as I can probably Busk it, but would be handy to have some Instructions and know any tips, if you have and have the time to share? Many thanks. Phil

Actually I hadn't really tested my 'added Lead' Engine for ooomph and I can't remember what it became after renumbering and all that Tender faffing, that is a nightmare, now! I'm lucky as almost all my Bulleids have loads of hauling power and the layout (Seaton Junction) is long enough with decent radius curves off stage. Longest Trains are ACEs (sometimes 14 on the Up) and the Brighton Plymouth; 9/10 Mk ones as you know. Have you by any chance built a PDK 5500 Tender Kit? I've got one but no Instructions. Not the end of the World but would be handy to know any tips, if you have and have the time to share? Also, have you built the Self Weighing one? I've part built one and its a good Kit. Nowhere near finished but looks good behind a MN. ATB Phil -

I've done a few of those non DCC Ready and added Lead (Roof Flashing) Strips to the Can sides as there is loads of room, even after Decoder Fitted. I found some really simple Sockets and the Decoders to go with them. I can find the name of the Kit for you if I go up in the Loft. Only basic and inexpensive (4 Functions I think?) of course, but the socket is dead easy to wire up. You may well have already done it before and have your own choice of Kit. Those Scrolls are teeny and so easily lost! Good luck with the Cabsides but I find Fox to be excellent to apply. All the b est Phil -

Did you sort this? The choice of colour may be because the alternative Plates could be for Modifieds? I've forgotten how it went but B of B were Blue. I never remember seeing an 'original' W.C. with Black Plates. Sorry this is a late response. Phil -
Blimey Steve. That was a quick job. Looks damn good to me and I'm wearing my top notch Specs. Phil

Kit building Wagons and Vans is very good Therapy I find. Especially when you add some more robust parts and decent Buffers. Good job Steve. Phik P
