I have decided to go with the gw 1928

I am modelling 71000 DOG in00 gauge around 1957 ish

Is GW 1928 green a good match

TIA

thanks mike

Many thanks 

I have a high level motor gearbox installed with the motor facing forward.

When I run forwards the motor kicks back to the vertical and when I run in reverse it drops down

Anybody got any suggestions as I don’t want to strain the gearbox

Sorted thanks for the info

40:1 gearbox which I believe to be the later version as it does not require any soldering as it screws together.

it appears to me that I will have to drop the gearbox between the frames and split it ,then push the axle through and carefully (very) loctite the axle to the gear wheel although I don,t know if there will be any space to join the two halves together

Does anyone know how to instal an axle into an exactoscale gearbox

I assume you have to loctite it in but how do you achieve this when the gearbox is between the frames

I am only used to having to grub screw the gear on to the axle

Thanks for the comments

I will do some measurements and contact high level just to be sure

Thanks for this

has anyone done what I am trying to do?

I am building a djh wd 2-8-0 and fancy trying a high level motor/gearbox to fit 

Can anyone offer guidance on which one will be suitable

thanks

Thanks all for your suggestions

anyone know where I can obtain transfers for a wd 2-10-0 loco and tender preferably in light yellow

Thanks for the reply

I have contacted brass masters about another issue with the G2 and they were unable to help as the person who designed the kit unfortunately passed away some time ago

On reflection the part I am querying May be a common part on the fret to accommodate another kit So unless someone has noticed the same issue I can’t resolve the issue

Definitely the hardest kit I have encountered

I am struggling with a G2 kit especially the tender.

However on studying the loco chassis fret I have noticed a discrepancy in part numberts

the fixed axle plate is shown as part 7 on the diagram but 6 on the fret

However there is a part 7 on the fret but does not appear on any drawing or in the list of parts.

Can anyone help please

Altogether a most disappointing kit with too many errors in the diagrams and instructions.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for the tips It’s my first Bm kit so I’m proceeding cautiously

I am making a Brassmasters G2 with the Belpaire boiler

Can anyone advise how the boiler fits up against the spectacle plate and the smoke box or are they both straight solder fits.

also do I need the boiler support bracket and where does it fit

Many thanks
