NEWS:  SEPTEMBER 2008

Available now is a kit for the Jones Big Goods 4-6-0. This kit follows the usual 7mm scale format of etches only, leaving the builder to source wheels from Slater’s Plastikard, Motor and gearbox from their preferred supplier, as well as all the fittings for the locomotive and tender which are available from Laurie Griffin. Details of all the parts required are contained in the instructions and will also be on the website in August.

The kit can be bought as separate items, namely the chassis for £50.00, the locomotive body for £50.00 and the tender body and chassis for £45.00, or as a complete set of etchings for £145.00. The tender can be made up to represent the varieties of Highland Railway tender fitted to the locomotives during their working lives.

Also available now is another bogie coach in both 4mm and 7mm scale. This time a bogie 5 compartment Brake Third to Highland Diagram 30 (LMS 1922 diagram 39).

The kit is available in 7mm scale for £65.00 and requires the builder to source the wheels, and bogies, spring castings, axle boxes, buffers and roof fittings. Suitable parts are available from Laurie Griffin’s range as well as from Peter Cowling, SM Models and JPL models. Details are given in the instructions for those parts required.

The coach is also available in 4mm scale for £37.00 and this price includes the bogies and castings for the springs and axleboxes. The builder is required to source buffers, brake cylinders and roof fittings and these may be obtained from Comet Models , 51 L Models or Alan Gibson’s ranges.

I am holding all prices as long as possible this year, but with the rise in the cost of raw materials, there will inevitably be price rises in the New Year on all kits. Postage is still £1.75 for orders under £40.00, and Post Free for orders above that value, (unless otherwise stated), though this will also have to increase in the New Year

A D19 third is now available in 7mm scale only. To the usual format of etches only, and retails for £45.00
