Re: The Stronalacher Saga

 

Hi Frank

Not quite,? Wrightlines was Russell Wright - but thence as you say.

The 16mm one is Malcolm Wright and he trades as Wrightscale; lives near Arbroath up here.? Malcolm's wife Sarah wrote the recent book on Col. Pechot and his 60 cm railways.

Cheers

David

Colin,

IF I've got this correct, some of the Wrightlines kits originated or had masters made by Roy Link, Robin Wright took them over and passed them on later to Kay Butler. I think Robin now trades in 16mm as Wrightscale. Don't quote me, but I think that is (W)right.

You are correct Andrew
?
No sooner than I had posted my reply, than I looked around the web and found that some of the kits which I though had been done where in fact figments of my imagination.
?
I will have to have a chat to that nice man who has all the wrightline moulds to see what can be done and just what kits he is doing.
?
Just out of interest, but what where wrightlines called before wrightlines, I am sure they took over another model manufacture before they started or am I just dreaming that as well?

That said, I am sure Wrightlines used to do Prince and the?Darjeeling B tank and we know that EDM will have the L&BR 2-6-2 kit at some stage, and I think chivers fines lines used to do a 7mm scale Vale of Rheidol 2-6-2 as well, but I am sure the others don't have kits, so there is a lot of scratch building to do in that case.?????

Colin,

Sadly, your memory is playing tricks with you, the only part of that which is correct is that EDM will be bringing out the L&B 2-6-2!
?
Wychbury Loco Works brought out the Ffes England loco which is now sold by Mercian.
?
The Darj B Class is available through EDM Models, the only other 7mm scale version I know of was a French manufactured kit, others have proposed it but not brought it out.
?
Wrightlines got to the stage of producing patterns and castings for the VoR tanks but this never got to the stage of being a released kit.
