      ok.... I was, who's put a bee in your bonnet?  I appreciate the assistance however I had exhausted every spares website. I'm sorry you have miss understood my meaning.

  2. Missed out on a SER Saloon on eBay... £75 for a damaged kit... Probably will never see one of those again..

  3. Adding a nice new cover image to my profile, nice and different :)

  4. Bachmann jinty connection rods... proving difficult to find.

  5. Shame there's not a replacement etched chassis for this K's kit... no matter what I do it's just not straight

      No, they look like etches but are machine produced. They definitely aren't a solid block like the old Cotswold chassis blocks. I'd certainly give them a call. I've always found them very helpful. I've no connection other being a satisfied customer.

      That's cool I just had a google of it I see what you mean, I shall give them a call tomorrow, and discuss with them, as it doesn't say it will fit a K's but worth an ask.

      Thanks for your help.

      I'd recommend some kind of assembly jig to keep things square. Also vital that the rods and axle centres correspond exactly. Gibson do universal coupling rods that can be adapted to your specific coupled wheelbase.

      London Road do useful jigs.

      Yes possibly will take some work on, although doing so at the moment, Matthew, good question I have had a few sample prints from FormLabs, and waiting for a couple of others... then the question of money begins.

      That charge pays your admission to a show where you can get it, of course. Forward planning is now the key :(

      haha ya rub it in, Yes I had hoped to buy from a local show... I managed to get 2 / 3 pots... but sadly couldn't find the 3rd... and sadly I can't always plan ahead as it depends mainly on money... I buy when i need... or maybe take out a loan next time...

  18. Off to Stoke Mandeville for Railex....good bye money,,,
