My first (and probably only!) attempt at a white-metal wagon kit has been test built. There is an issue with the ends which make the wagon too wide, easily sorted with a few strokes of a file but I need to decide if expecting the purchaser to do this fix is acceptable. This kit is for the :NBR Dia.81; LNER SSA Dia.4B, 3 plank centre door open, 8’0” width. (10/03/19)
I have taken the decision not to progress the development of chassis kits 9206 & 9207 for the GEM Scott and Glen. These had been on the back burner for many years and I could not come up with a satisfactory design which takes into account the foibles of a 4-4-0 chassis supporting a heavy and unbalanced white-metal body.
