For those above who seem interested, the South Pelaw blog http://southpelawem.blogspot.co.uk/ has been updated today....

Nice one Tim.........so how did you actually remove the door? What about the chimney? We are not convinced by it on our bit of the East Coast! Pete
-
Thanks for that......same combination should fit my Alexander Q7!! -
Hi Paul, which motor and high level box have you used?
-
Quite right Adam, fine for those of us who can, but if people were looking for a "drop in" or wheel swap solution, I'm not sure thats the answer, thats all. And, does the Gibson wheel include the Class 14 jackshaft?
-
Hope you are right, because I have a horrid feeling the Gibson wheel is on eighth inch (3.3mm) axles, Heljans are 2mm. Wouldnt be 100% on that though!

Hi Adam, drifted one wheelset out to EM back to back, and can just see the splines on the axle ends!! So thats that answer for you! Had thought of u shaped plasticard.....if they can be successfuly glued to the chassis plastic. Think thats a better option than warehouses of Peco washers, thanks PMP, but its something approaching 2.5 to 3mm play each side to take up! Am still tempted to go for wheels off and brass or biro tube spacers! By the way, very impressive buffer beams Bubbles, nice work.

Hi Adam, quite agree about the wheels being more than suitable for EM, and also about the alarming side play! Any thoughts on how to take that up? My initial idea was to remove completly the wheels and jackshaft crank and gear from one side to slip some spacing bushes on the axles, then reassemble and quarter.........unless anyone has an easier solution! Someone asked earlier about axle diameter, its 2mm.

Think its a great looking model of the prototype, more than captures the original brilliantly. Both examples I've converted to EM Gauge this afternoon are superb slow speed runners, high speed trials will have to wait until a visit to a suitable piece of EM ECML!!
