Hi Frank you are correct, if you look at the
backwoods 009 page you will see what he does for 009, sadly he told me that he
drew all the art work by hand and due to a flood where he used to live, he lost
the masters.
?
The reason I mention of all of this, is I
have asked him if he could do the 009 range in 014, but he did not appear to be
interested at the time. I am not sure if he got a few enquires would he do
them.?

I understand that he has to now look after
his wife and does not get to that many shows any more, if ever,?he did
mention last year that he is willing to sell off parts of the Backwoods range. I
was interested in one part of his range, but sadly?everything went wrong at
the time at my end, so I could not process with it. I still dont want to see
this range disappear, but the truth of the matter is, it just might do so as
Pete is thinking in terms of semi retirement.?
?
I know he is still designing new kits as the
website will testify, but I think he is looking more at the American market,
which I dont blame him for.

John,

B
class, which is I think the 0-4-0. There is/was a Darjeeling Garratt in 4mm I
think, I've seen a few round exhibitions though they might be scratch
built.

"I have a kit for
the Darjeeling, I know two who have built them and both said the body worked
fine but the chassis wanted work. If you are a member, you can access an
article several years ago by Keith Millard in Narrow Lines, magazine of the
7mm narrow Gauge Association."
I didn't think there was a kit
for the Darjeeling Garrat, only K1 from Backwoods, although I stand to be
corrected. If there is I think I may pass this
time.
