Cab anyone help me with acquiring some coil springs, they need to be not greater then 5/32" [or 4mm.]in diameter, and around 5/16" [or 8mm.], with a 2 ounce [or 56 grams] loading capability.

Brian,

Finding springs can be quite a challenge as the technical specs are most confusing to most of us. I used this company for my coupler springs (which ended up being a custom order):

I'm sure there will be similar suppliers in Oz.

Brian,

BNA model world stock springs. You may find what you require there.

I have post some photos of my progress building a 7mm. scale O-14 gauge South African Railways 91 Class loco, 95% of this model will be photo etched.
If all goes to plan this model will be powered byt a total of 6 electric motor, large motor will be the primary drive motor, the second large motor will actually be a generator, and the 4 Mashima 1015 will be mounted as per the prototype traction motors, the entire drive system will have ball race bearings, fully working suspension, fully working draftgear, also a specially built smoke unit will blow smoke via a thrust fan when the primary motor revs up.
