New Wagon Parts
The new parts for the wagon kits have arrived at last and the picture above shows both sidse of the mould. Please note that the plastic used in the moulds is actually black - I’ve just given them a whiff of Halford’s Grey Primer to make them show up a bit netter in the picture. There are two types of spring, two types of buffer shank and five types of axleboxes on each sprue. All the axle boxes come in two parts so need the fronts to be stuck to the backs. You will need four sprues for one wagon, but the same four sprues will suffice for two wagons if you use different springs, buffer stocks and axleboxes for the two wagons. We are hoping to provide steel buffer heads and shanks to work in the buffer stocks and these might be available in the near future. However, in the short term you might want to consider using 4mm scale ones from Wizard Models - their scale 16”, 1mm shank type on this web page. These buffer heads scale out at about 13.4” in S scale, so you might choose to leave them oversize to help with buffer locking, or the size may be reduced fairly easily in the lathe, or even in a Dremel type tool using a file. I’m also investigating getting the sprues cast in brass sing the same method we use when doing the cast brass chairs. If we are successful then the parts from the sprues will be sold separately so that you will have access to individual springs, buffer stocks and axleboxes for use on other items of rolling stock. |

No sooner does one new S Scale loco appear than several come along at once. The hurried shot above is of Patrick Smith's 16" Hunslet made from etches by Judith Edge kits blown up to S Scale. These etches are still available. Please contact them for details and price. Bill Bedford also passed by at Railex and talked about a new range of S Scale Midland Locos. I have seen the 1F tank. There are others to come....... |

A recent venture between Scott Willis and Peter Mullen of 62C models has produced a set of etches for an NBR Class A/LNER N14 0-6-2T. The etches are a direct reduction from Peter's 7mm etches and he is advertising them, along with the etches for an NBR Class A/LNER N15 0-6-2T, on his website. The chassis for the N14 is the same as that for the N15, originally it was the intention to have the chassis and both the N14 & N15 bodies produced. Unfortunately funds ran out and only the chassis and N14 body was produced. Despite this Peter has advertised the N15 on his website and would be happy to produce the body if he receives any interest. See the Locomotive page for more images. |
