thank you for your custom 

glad to be able to put some of the items back out there

the problem ive found is there isnt enough castings to make 1 single kit of any type

so by getting items like this  back out this helps the cash flow 

thanks again Mark

looking like the siphon F will be the 1st kit back into production im building the 1 set of etches i have this comes with a etched roof that i will pre form 

not sure on cost as of yet but hoping to get it done for under £50

please express interest here by email info@blacksmithmodels.co.uk or on the gwr modelers FB page but please only do it in 1 place as if im left with large amounts of stock then this will slow down the reintroduction of other kits

Thanks for the support so far Mark 

I have slowly been going through what i have moulds castings photo tools ect

im very much in need of any old instruction sheets especially for non GWR kits

if any of you can help please message me here or send an email to info@blacksmithmodels.co.uk

Thanks in advance Mark

Using Wayback Machine I've retrieved the following information for the kits Blacksmith were doing back in 2010 and listed them as an Excel file.

 

For anyone not familiar with using Wayback Machine then the following link should take you to the archived Blacksmith website pages (I think most of the links to their products shown on there work should you wish to look at the non-kit stuff they did :

interesting list i will compare this to my packing lists and etch tools 

i have no 2 or 3mm tools but this isnt to say i cant do  2 or 3mm and with some castings being replaced with 3 d prints rescaling isnt such an issue

Thanks Mark

This is good news.

 

I’m in need of a 70’ first class coach for one of the formations I’m hoping to assemble, the Blacksmith 401005 should do it, but I keep being outbid on the rare ones that surface on Ebay. It would be great if this was to become available, the etch is the most important thing to me, if other components are a problem there are probably enough castings and interior bits in my coach building box and I generally go for RTR or 3D printed bogies.

 

Hopefully a website will emerge in good time, I can’t be doing with soshul meeja – it’s not that I’m a technophobe, it’s just that I haven’t got any mates…

This is good news. I, too, need the GWR 70' All First. I had one years ago and then the chap I gave it to to build it "lost" it. Grr. It's one of the major ommissions in my Grouping era GW layout stock.  

 

For pre-Grouping, I'd be equally interested in GW, LNWR and SE&CR stock.

 

I wonder if a list of what may possibly become available could be produced, then that could garner expressions of wishes for specific items.  

 

Good to see one of the lost ranges returning.

i may have the etches for these in stock ive not completly checked what i have yet stock wise if not ill do a batch in the new year

im looking at doing both etch only and complete kits but castings may be the issue to start with as finding the correct moulds for parts needed takes time

i will replace some castings with 3d prints

So there is hope for the SE & CR coaches to return as well.

 

All the best

Ray

there is hope for everything in time 

although it has to make me some money (or at least get my investment back) so one direction i may look at is expressions of interest in the same way we did the 4mm 15xx with Warren Shepard on the GWR modellers FB page

Would you be making the corridor connections available separately, they look a lot easier than the Roxey Mouldings, ones.

 

 

im  about to send in the next few weeks a scissor connector and detailing etch off to be done which will include laser cut bellows  its slightly different to the photo as no slots at the bottom. The detailing  includes steps, lamp irons jumper cables  

yes please Ian

i built both a falcon brass bulldog(bird) and aberdare not the greatest but both buildable cant find a pic of the bird but will 

one would guess those who make the paints are good for expert opinions 

few points on paint 

as stated above red will fade quicker then some 

we all see paint different so when someone sees a pinker shade others may not

light will change the look of the colour so if your layout is lit then match the colour under that lighting  

i also print custom transfers and will take on artwork if needed 

send me a pm i can do you some bespoke ones

How will it be for conversion to P4 and EM?  Plenty of room between the valve gear and crossheads for instance?  1/8" axles?  Drop out wheelsets?

Warren shepard etched chassis ?

Hopefully the brake rodding can be installed correctly. Otherwise, very nice.

 lol yes the side i got backwards 

yes its a redraw from his 7mm kit like the 15xx all done in conjunction with the GWR modellers facebook group. These two are the test builds done by myself and another a few tweaks are under way and the production tooling and etches will be ordered with delivery in 4-5 weeks  

hi guys a few pic here of the new kit from Warren Shepard in 4mm theres a few bits that were not 100% and is currently being redrawn if your interested in a kit please contact Warren or myself should be ready in about 5 weeks

i can still supply any of the corridor connectors  just send me a PM

here are some transfers that ive just printed for a friend who has built the north staffs electric loco

if anyone wants a set please pm me as i can print more

warren Shepard has redone his 7mm kits to 4mm there may well be some left as it is a limited run
