Colin Seymour who has AG now is still working, I spoke to him yesterday. One thing to watch, AG do their wheels on 26.5 mm standard axles but also on 24.5.? 14mm gauge on the longer axles looks odd, the shorter axles, still a bit long for 14mm gauge look better but it will depend on what the kit is designed to take. Thanks for that Frank - the (slightly esoteric) Mercian site says "Slate series unavailable due to wheel shortages" but doesn't specify which kits this includes. I think I'll have to assume it's anything with curly-spoked wheels as that what their slate waggon kits use.?
