Steve Beattie Class 16 ...... on its way

The last of any of these kits that I had any real interest in so sent for one.

Really must start building some I think. I have my Polly sitting in my shed " quivering " in case I decide to brandish my soldering iron within three feet of it.

Pictures as usual when it arrives.

cheers

I'm not sure. A few of his models read sold out but I am sure some came back on other runs. I have just emailed him for PDF copies of some of the models which I have bought as I don't have a disc drive on my laptop. When he responds, I'll ask the question.

Hi York Paul,

forgot to say ...... if his class 24's are not going to be replenished and you are really keen on having one, I have 2. ( i'm sure ) I will part with one if you want it that bad. Just let me know. I'm sure they will be back though. They seem to sell out quite quick contrary to some of the negative comments that his kits attract at times. I've seen these built and they are really nice kits.

cheers

I have received a reply from Steve Beattie. He has very nicely provided me with the PDF's for the 25 and the 16 and 17. he has a spare class 15 which is now not spare. And he has some 25's going. I have asked him about the 24's and i'm waiting his response ...... I'll let you know York Paul.

 

lovely ..... nice and mucked up. I've just been discussing the wheels I'll need for my Steve Beattie classes 15, 16, 17, 22, 24 and 25's. should they be solid or spoked. most are solid disc wheels I think but Paul reckons the 22 may have been spoked. I think I'll give slaters a miss as it would cost a fortune but there are other suppliers of steel wheels.

Not so keen on the Peaks. They look like girly versions of the 37's. They just need a blonde wig draped over the cab.

I think I know what you are referring to with regards to the wheels with the smaller holes around them. I've seen them used elsewhere. Just need to remember where now. Must admit I am surprised at the use of spoked wheels on the diesels. I always thought they were mainly disc wheels. I'm glad I didn't go into one of my cringeworthy debates with Paul on that one otherwise much humble pie would have been on the menu. He loves it when I do that.

 

Hi York Paul,

I've just heard back from Steve Beattie. He can do you a class 24. If you go onto his site, you can email him through the contacts section. Just mention our conversation.

Cheers

No worries,

Let us know how you get on.

 

Picked up the class 16 today. All seems ok on initial inspection. I'll have another look in more detail on Friday when I have more time to unpack and inspect it.

Won't bother the pics as I've already posted some when purchasing the first one.

Cheers

Toto
