Dave tells me it's 30 years since he made his, but he's going to dig it out and photograph it for us.
There is an issue with balance: the model needs a little more weight up for'ard and a little less at the rear. He replaced the white metal cab roof with wood and added some ballast in the smokebox IIRC (I'll check).

?In response to Tony’s query, the L&B Models coach kits had resin bodies (Slaters use plastic). No idea how they make up - mine are still in the “to do” drawer!
And thanks to David and Brian for their ideas on “Lyn”.

Re: Pickups for E762 Lyn

I thought I'd look through the 7mmNGA archives. There was a product review based on a build by Neil Kinnison in Issue 111 of Narrow Lines. Unfortunately, Neil states that he ignored the instructions about the pickups to use his 'tried and trusted' method 'of
which more anon'. Sadly, the Association's archives can't be searched by author so I can't see if he ever published this trusty method subsequently!
Not much help re the pickups, but for Association members the rest of the article might prove useful.

Allan,
I have yet to build mine, but I'll ask my friend Steve Gardiner who has largely completed the chassis and had it running on a rolling road. Failing
that, we both meet regularly with Dave Nicholson who was 'L&B Models', though the next time isn't until December.

I’m (very belatedly!) building the L&B Models kit for “Lyn”, and have reached the stage of fitting pickups. This is easy enough for the rear wheelset, but I can’t figure out how to deal with the front wheelset. All the obvious ideas seem to be obtrusive
and/or at risk of shorting out on the intermediate frame stretcher.?
Has anyone found a satisfactory solution for the pickups on this loco? Allan |

anyone know of a source for etched slide chairs suitable for Micro Engineering

with holes for mounting the plate to the sleepers and the rail. I have folded some up myself from annealed brass strip, but I think an etching would give more consistent results. (I have even made some full size ones. Now that was fun!) Regards, Michael Milway.

Re: O scale NG boiler fittings
开云体育The only problem you might find with suppliers like Ragstone is that they don’t have a web sales facility.? I suspect that Andy only takes UK cheques as well which won’t be so convenient for anyone outside of the UK like yourself Rod.? However, if you want anything from any of that type of supplier, I would be happy to place an order on your behalf and post it out to you. ? Cheers, ? Robin ?

Re: Etched slide chairs and fish plates

Michael,
If you're not committed to etched brass, have you tried C&L for some 4mm ABS slide chairs (and fishplates)? KbScale also do ABS fishplates, available from Narrow Planet. IIRC the KbScale fishplates fit Karlgarin 82/7: John Clutterbuck posted a comparison of
rail heights in the archive which ought to show if the web height of ME83 is similar.

The PSC fittings are very nice. I placed an order with Paul just before Expo NG and they came very promptly. Probably one of the reasons that his stock is a bit low!
