These are for Toto initially but I will get around to building it at some point so thought it worth posting here. Instructions: Castings, bearings and sundries: Etches There was also various lengths of wire rod included but I didn't take any photos of them And finally some extra bits that I have added to the box: Wheels, with split axles, Slaters Insulated Hornblocks, SDMP Etched hornguides specifically designed for the Slaters Hornblocks (these are now available from Finney7 but I got them from Steph Dale before he and his compatriots bought the 7mm Finney Range). Maxon Motor and Roxey Mouldings fold up gearbox which I fitted with ball race bearings and finally some Hobby Horse lubricator castings.
I have to add that the etches look quite good and don't look to have the more crude look to them that some kits with hand drawn art work display. I had this kit recommended to me a few years ago by a prolific builder who goes by the username of Jazz on RMweb. He doesn't pull any punches if there are deficiencies in the kit he's working on so I took the recommendation and had my son get me one for a Christmas/Birthday pressie.
It does look good. I'm sure you'll do it justice when the time comes. Thanks for posting up the photos.
Now the split axles are interesting, especially when I get up to speed on the 3d Printer - resin footplate, and chassis spacers with metal chassis side frames - nae pickups. How are you intending to short out the wheel centers to the treads ? Paul
Hi Paul, This will probably show it better than I can describe it. https://flic.kr/p/fCzjXj Sorry I am struggling to link and display the image from Chris’s iPad
