    According to Gould, Firsts 7648 in Set 473, 7635 in Set 801, and 7630 in Set 802 were contractor-built carriages ordered in 1946/46 with 10" ventilators. It was from 1949 onwards that the 15" began to arrive in 'N' sets. In total, 17 FKs existed. If I have misread Gould's book I apologise in advance but I have updated my original post with '15"' to reflect.

    Hi Fran, Any chance of Accurascale tooling an LBSCR K class? There is an enormous gap in the market for SR /BR(S) fans there, and they are currently only available as brass kits of dubious quality/accuracy. I was hoping Rails of Sheffield would announce one now their D1 is here, but you could pip them to the post! Best regards, James.

    I agree. A Bulleid 10" &15" FK in BR(S) green is a big hole in their lineup too!

    Much the same as everyone else, mine arrived about 25m ago and she's a PEACH. Incredible slow-running performance. Rails of Sheffield and Dapol have done very well here; I a happy customer. Now for some 'real' coal, delicate weathering to take away the 'plastic' look and, as @Forester says, tone down those coupling rods a touch!

    Are there yet any updates on this K Class kit? Specifically with photos? I was absolutely gutted to have missed out on attending Tonbridge but remain most keen on learning as much as possible since intend to buy a K as soon as possible. I may hold off a decision until I see the forthcoming PDK K Class but, if this iteration is as good as is claimed, perhaps not!

    Hi 5&9,

     

    I am looking for some LBSC water cranes and the forum brought your company to the fore as per my thread on RMWeb. Unfortunately, the email on your website is bouncing back my messages. Do you still have them for purchase?

     

    Best regards,

     

    James

    Sorry to bother you chaps again, but I've been trying to email 5&9 since Barnaby's post above, and the email address on their website keeps rejecting my messages. Does anyone know if they are still trading? And if they are extant, how to get in touch? Their website doesn't give much away...

    Thanks to you both, for the welcome and for the recommendation. Much appreciated.

    Hi all, First post for me! I'm trying to source a ground-mounted and platform-mounted LBSCR Stroudley-style water crane in 4mm, as one each of those are what were installed at Heathfield on the Cuckoo Line. Predictably, I've found the perfect products in 7mm scale over at Ragstone Models (see picture below) but have had no luck at all in 4mm. Apparently Mike's Models used to make a whitemetal kit but these have not been available for some time. Does anyone know of anyone offering these in 4mm? Thanks in advance, James
