Re: Loco suspension

 

开云体育

Hi Craig

When I built my loco I had a problem with some cylinder parts, and Alan Gibson very kindly sent me a replacement etch including a full set of side frames and stretchers. Whilst these are for a rigid chassis, there are half-etch lines so that the space for the hornblocks can be cut out easily and precisely. I didn't need these, so they are still in my bits box, along with a set of Gibson sprung hornblocks.? Would these be any use to you?

(The frames were for SR 188 "Lew" but I believe the etches are the same as for the original locos).

Not so as it turned out - apparently this kit is a reissued variant by AG himself with all the important Roy Link chassis suspension bits discarded as a cost saving measure.

While I have no 'cupboard of oblivion' for this kit it is at present languishing in the 'pit of despair,' likely until I can find an original to copy or get a fix kit of parts, sprung horn blocks etc.
