Hello SR Rich I suggest you give Roxey Mouldings a call regarding your driving brake balloon coach bogies as I am going to collect my LB&SCR balloon trailing coach kit in O gauge brass from him at the Guildford O Gauge Group trade show of which I am a member , venue being at the Guildford Spectrum sports Centre Surrey 2nd December 2023 Kind regards, Paul Williams.

Hi Jazz Sorry forgot to ask you if you have built any DJB kits and your opinion as I have a Southern Q class kit {not the MOK Q1kit} with me. Regards, Paul.

Hello Jazz I am considering purchasing David Andrews Southern rebuilt Merchant Navy and rebuilt Light Pacific have you any experiences in building these kits and your opinion please. Regards, Paul.

Hi Jazz I am thinking of purchasing a Rising Star Southern A12 Jubilee 0-4-2 tender loco kit could you give me your thoughts on the accuracy and quality of their kits I believe this kit is marketed by Slaters now? Regards, Paul.

Hi Simond Thank you for the lead to Metalsmiths website it says currently unavailable due to modifications although I will give Barry a ring Monday morning as you suggest to check what is happening as I have some rather long Southern region pull-push coach roofs to curve. Regards, Paul.

Hi Jazz Ok thank you anyway I am looking to possibly get some longer rollers made up/fabricated by a local engineering company I guess it will not be cheap but can let you know if I go ahead with it and the cost involved.

Hello Jazz I wondered if you could help me I already have a set of 10 inch GW rolling bars although he does not produce longer ones as far as I know could you advise me where I may be able to purchase some longer ones ideally 17 inch rollers. Regards, Paul.

I was lucky enough to be told of two 7mm Bulleid Pacifics for sale the first being an Golden Age Models original built Merchant Navy Named Cunard White Star this being one of my prefered names the second is a masterpiece Models Bulleid light Pacific West Country original built named Plymouth both in Malachite Green as well, happy days and the bonus was they were put straight into display cases as soon as the owner received them so both near on mint condition have not collected them yet but as you can imagine im chopping at the bit hopefully will make the trip in the next two to three weeks.

Hi everyone as I am a hardened Southern Railway modeler now in 7mm I have a brass kit for a Southern Q class 0-6-0 tender loco as preserved on the Bluebell Railway the kit was produced by DJB Engineering a few years back I was wondering if anybody has experience of building this kit I appreciate your thoughts on quality and ease of building it.

Hello everyone this is my first post I get the impression that many of you may only be 4mm modelers although I started in this scale a long time ago the last two to three years I have started modelling/building brass kits in 7mm with Heljan RTR Diesel models. I have a question which is I bought a Meteor kits S.E.C.R H class has any body experienced building this particular kit and what are your thoughts.
