Hi guys, I have small scale drawings of the 'Addington' and similar cars, amongst them: BP 496 (1888, 44ft) which shows vertical t&g boards between the...
All my drawings and other publications I have consulted show only second class accommodation for 'Addington' style cars (including the Gilbert Bush & Co cars)....
I am coming to grips with the niceties of differences in early car underframes with a view to offering more detailed componentry for kits of specific cars...
Nelson Q1:WVP's are correct. T&G came when the sides had rotted out. Several cars lasted into ea service with WVP's. Q2; yes Firsts, compos and seconds . Will...
Thanks for your prompt responses, John, ... Are you saying that the solebars are 9¼" deep iron channel or that it is 9¼" iron cladding on wooden solebars? I...
Nelson this is PRECISELY how its handwritten in the 1897 Loco 66 ledger. I'll dig up another one or two tonight, regards John [Non-text portions of this...
Hi team, Out of courtesy I thought I should say Gidday. Member 1029 and I reside in snowbound Angus Scotland (any other Scottish folk?). A Mainlander I've been...

I had a dilemma while making a new headstock pattern the other day. What height does one set the couplers at? When scaled correctly the NZR coupler standard ...
Alec thats no new decision mate. Given the problem with uncoupling NZR couplers on larger layouts, and the even bigger problem when you turn stock on...
Alex the other solution is to provide 2 sets of headstocks. Wont cost you much more. regards John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

I'm glad you raised this, Alec, it's a real hobby horse of mine. Most kit makers don't seem to have asked your question and have simply gone with the Kadee HO...

Guys, I have had a couple of comments that the links on the home page tend to blend into the background. If you have been recently, could you let me know if...

Hmmm, just taking a look at the underlying code, Ken, I see that you have not specified a font colour for the text of the links - that's why I'm seeing them...
Alec, if you happen to be including any etched parts you may be able to include an etched plate to cover the large opening needed for Kadee couplers. Another...
