EDM also do an etched kit of the Darjeeling B tank in 7mm. -- Brian Rumary England brian(at)rumary.co.uk

Hi David This appears to have taken on a life of its own, in a private email I have been told that Adrian has done contract castings for other people and hence the reason why some kits in other

Hi Colin Gosh having to dredge the memory for this - please take what follows as my best recollections but not necessarily gospel.? What I am sure about is that only 7mm narrow gauge models appeared

Hi Brian, I'm seriously impressed if you do your own etching! It also explains why you don't have any issues using a bitmap format for the images: PNG is a bitmap format. As to scaling I didn't mean

Mark, While it is possible to save drawings in a multitude of file types with Paintshop Pro, I save all my artwork as “.png” [Portable Network Graphic], and I do all my own etching, as far as

Hi David can I ask does anyone have any idea of what was in the last wrightline catalogue? I know Adrian also had some tramkits and the IOMR railcars for 00n3 amongst all his patterns and I think he

Hi David this is of some concern not only to you but to many others as well, I recall that Adrian was looking for someone to take over the whole range as he was very ill two years ago, the last time I

I sold Russell Wright my 0-16.5 kits when I decided to concentrate exclusively on O14 products - this must have been about 1986. He took the Bagnall 0-4-0ST, Hudswell/Hunslet 0-6-0WT (which I later

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

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

Colin Adrian Swain (Mr Wrightlines) is not at all well at the moment.? He is unable to do any casting and his appearance at ExpoNG is doubtful/unlikely.? Could I respectfully suggest you do not

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

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

Thanks Mark Funnily enough it was Stephen I wanted to have a chat to, due to various reasons I have not been able to get to any of the Greenwich meetings of late, but having a chat to him would help

Without wanting to suggest that you are doing anything wrong Brian, I'd suggest that anyone wanting to learn to produce artwork for etching avoids using Paintshop Pro or any other bitmap based

Colin, Making your own etchings isn’t as hard to do as you may think, the set up cost for the basic items will cost you about AUD$600 or about 300UK pound, the hard part is learning to design your

Thanks Guys We have Expong coming up so I hope to be able to talk to a few people who are making 3D prints in 009, I realise that if making a brass etch kit was easy we would all be doing them, that

From what I have seen and heard, a lot of etchings that have been done in the past, they have tried to use too thick of a material which means it is very hard to get folds correct, all of the etching

Very true. Producing a working CAD drawing that can be turned in to a pattern or an etch takes a bit of doing for 3D parts you need to add shrinkage factors these change depending on the material

Colin, I think you'll find a major difference between a drawing of a loco even in CAD and what is needed for an etched kit. The 7mm Narrow Gauge Association has books of drawings but most predate
