Hi can someone tell me where I can order the axlebox castings from or do I order the Cantebury Lamb ones and where do you get the Wheels from.

Thanks Bob

I think you can get them from GLR, they certainly sell the Rainhill castings

Hi Bob. Jason is correct. My castings have recently arrived. GLR have had a rush of orders for Rainhill wheels (what a suprise) but some new stock has arrived. It’s the Canterbury cylinders you will need.

Would love to hear how you are progressing with the project.

Hi, the latest instructions suggest using 2 1/2 guage castings from Eagle and Southern Maid for the Eccentric castings. Can anyone tell me where these are available from.

Would it be a good idea to suggest sources for castings in the articles or are there advertising issues here?

GLR do Southern Maid

It would be good to have a complete list of castings required as this would save postage and delivery times if builders are having to order a few castings each month when the next article is published

The Eagle castings are available from the 2½” Gauge Association. The castings officer is Christopher Kruikshank who can be contacted at:

chc@jacom.co.uk

The castings are normally sold at cost to members but are available to non members at a slightly higher price.

Thanks Jason and John. I have spoken to GLR this morning and they have suggested that if Tony Weale gets in touch with them they will put together a castings kit for Northumbrian. They obviously only hold small numbers of many of the castings so far used and the demand is growing fast. If you are reading this David perhaps you can suggest this to Tony. It would be of help to GLR and those of us who are building.

Thanks John, I wouldn’t mind finding out more about the 2 1/2 Association.

Hi Chris,

there is a website at:

http://www.users.waitrose.com/~n25ga/

They also attend most of the major exhibitions and will be at the Midlands one this weekend. They’re a pretty friendly bunch and are always happy to speak to people at the shows.
