    Bought a kit a few months ago for a few quid at a fair. It was incomplete but apaprt from screws and wire it was missing the coupling rods. Anybody got a set knocking around anywhere please or a goood source to obtain some.

    Thanks

    OO scale I'm assuming. I'm not sure if Premier components do all scales or not but it would be a starting point unless someone more learned could chime in. :avatar:

    If I find anything else I'll come back in.

    Coupling and connecting rods on the way so probably early New Year should see some real progress. At the moment most of the body has been built. I know one thing, it's a massive engine.
