Or you can use Steph Dale's method here: http://www.euram-online.co.uk/tips/splitaxle/splitaxle.htm Dave

The underframe is different to the one in PS07. The axleboxes are different, solebar numberplate is different, wagon label clip not shown on Peco photo. The tiebar is there for a reason! It certainly looks bigger than 9' wheelbase. Have you measured it? Dave

John Had you looked in the Guild's Product Directory, you would have been pointed at Duncan Models. For those of us that spent many hours assembling the list it is disheartening when questions like this are asked. Dave

Doubt it but, honestly, I don’t know for sure. Like I said, he doesn’t have a website. Dave

Alan This is listed as a Flatbed kit. Your photo shows the cab & chassis. Is there more? Dave

His details are listed in the 'Find a Trader' section of the GOG website. Email & snailmail contact only. No website. Dave

Allow me. Dave

I confess to being confused as to the scale/gauge you are building to. You've mentioned 2" gauge (50.8mm), 7mm scale (gauge 49.2mm) but you're building to 48mm gauge. Do you also make watches with 59 or 61 minutes in an hour?! Dave

What the IT department call a PICNIC problem. Problem In Chair, Not In Computer! Dave

I use the same system too but it's still Japanese! Dave

Here are a few views of Mike's completed coaling stage: The model is now living with me waiting to be used on a new shed-based layout. Dave

I hope he had a good editor!

https://www.gaugeoguild.com/news/news_details.aspx?id=3022 Not sure if you have to logged on to read this, but in essence, the Guild has taken over the product. Dave

A very quick search in the Guild Gazette listings reveals that LocoTech did one - mostly resin - in the mid-1990s. Dave

Website working fine here 24/7 - looks like it's your issue. Dave

You should spend more time on Western Thunder. The Bleddfa Road thread has been running there for over two years! Dave

The Eric Underhill kits found their way into the ABS Zero Zephyrs range. The ABS-owned kit ranges including Classic Commercials, Zero Zephyrs and the 43two1 kits are now with David Parkins. Some items of purchased stock are for sale but the rest of the range will take a while to be reintroduced. Not all of the Zero Zephyrs range is being reintroduced. It looks as if the majority of kits containing resin parts are excluded. Dave

Proportion of S7 vs FS - probably. When you build in S7, you quickly find out where there are opportunities to run your stock. Dave

There are suppliers of S7 wheels other than Slater's. e.g. Peartree. I suspect that Tower might supply kits without wheels if asked - especially if you are buying several kits. The S7 Group supplies a number of locomotive wheels through the S7 stores (to members only). Loco wheels that are not in the S7 Stores range can be routed from Slater's or Walsall, Mark Wood wheel ranges etc. to e.g. Colin Dowling who will reprofile, thin and chemically blacken them and then send them on to you. Just how many locos will you be building? Western Thunder is home to some of the best modelling on the web with contributions from modellers all over the world. No adverts. No politics. Recommended. Dave

Have you phoned Peco to ask them? PD would always supply kits with S7 wheels and Peco initially said that they would continue to do so when they took on the PD range of kits. Alternatively buy the kits without any wheels and get the S7 wheels from Slater’s. Dave

The list of Traders Websites is a totally different facility. The Product Directory is a searchable index of c40,000 products which may be of use/interest to GOG members. It is a compilation of products from most of the traders listed on the Traders Websites page. As one of the members who input some of the data into the Product Directory, I’m reluctant to offer the data to 7mm modellers who either won’t join the Guild or can’t be bothered to look at the Product Directory.

OK then: Finney7 Warren Shephard Modelu You might want to try 88D Models too.
