Well done Adrian! its good to see another S7 layout in the challenge.

I have checked my sources there is no definite confirmation that the ends were red with the later lettering style. however from the photos I have you do need to add some black on the framing as with the covered wagon. I have lost your email so i cant send you the details if pm me with it i can send them to you

I have a painting diagram somewhere I'll did it out later

Jazz i was wondering where you had got to :icon_wave: I like the Cambrian wagon, very nice. have you thought of a Cambrian brake van to go with it? they were quite colourful with red ends.

Woohoo it works

i think your modern is very different from mine!! to be honest I don't know. I have just had a look at the exactoscale, what a shame they dont do them in S7

which is the large white box!!!

I quite like IKB kits, but they are getting a bit long in the tooth, the panneling on some of them is a little variable in width which can make lining an adventure!!

they should have a taper like this you can see in that photo how much more I should remove from the wheel center. its one of those things, once you know about it it bugs you!

Im glad its visible! i could take a little more off without compromising the wheel. it probably won't cost that much to get a batch of CNC axles done as they are bugging me now!

i have been unhappy with the back of the Slaters wheels as they are nothing like the real thing, so I chucked a pair of S7 wheels in the soft jaw and took 16 thou off the back of the wheel center. I think it is an mprovementthey look more three dimensional. next thing is the axles......

you may well find that once you have opened the box, 4mm will go out of the window! there is something about genies and bottles....

Very nice, have you seen these link ? nice bicycles as well:lol:

if the fit is good it should just be a gentle push-fit into the recess. anything more and the wheel center could distort, the loctite is more than sufficient to retain the center.
