Gentlemen,

I am building a Sweet Pea 5″ gauge 0-4-0. I have got as far as a full set of frames and now need to fit wheels, axleboxes, springs etc. I wonder if anyone who has built one of these locos could possibly tell me, firstly, if they used the Blackgates springs, and secondly how much they shortened them by.( I have tried asking this question on the Sweet Pea Forum but got no replies)
