Castings

[Stephen RowleyParticipant @stephenrowley13300]

I have tried all sorts of searches but can not find a supplier of 5″ gauge casting for the LMS Duchess. Can anyone tell me where I can buy them.

Listed in the Blackgates Catalogue.

 

On my list of things to do after a 4″ LS traction engine so I checked availablitiy. They said, only a few weeks ago that they carry the castings as stock. Model Engineers Laser do a fair few laser cut parts too.

 

Labels and nameplates – try Diane Carney, who seems to have the production of photo etched scale nameplates very firmly under control. I’m sure if you said you wanted this or that from the class that is all she would need. (loco-nameplates.co.uk). She has just done a nameplate for a Metre Maid for me, and though a very simple job, it is perfect.

Try Blackgates. They list Duchess of Hamilton in their catalogue.

I will ring Blackgates later and ask what they have.

 

I have the main loco frames, tender frames and valve gear parts from Model Engineers laser and I must say they are very good indeed, well worth the money.
