Re: Micks 4mm LNER Models
Lovely job Mick.
I'm just starting on a 52F N15 that has been supplied with Gibson wheels. I've used Gibsons successfully in the past but my quartering method could cause questions to be asked. Do you use the eyeometer for quartering, or have you got a more dependable method to ensure all wheel sets are the same?

Aha, proper tool for the job.....always useful.
Re: Micks 4mm LNER Models
F8 painted, lining and numbering to go on next. Body is slightly tight on chassis at mo , some slight filing needed to the rear of the chassis.
Comparison to my Falcon Brass F8 version.

Re: Micks 4mm LNER Models
A much more "interesting" kit has just been started.
A etches only Falcon Brass J24 sourced via ebay, no instruction or castings or even frame spacers were supplied , luckily it was cheap.
I have made a start on the chassis and naively didnt check the dimensions first.
The etched holes for the centre drivers are not inline by about 1mm, luckily I checked before going any further. The wayward Axle Bush has now been moved to the correct position.
I have managed to i.d all the Body parts other than the three items on the centre/left in the photo below. Two appear to fold up into two boxes. The other item looks like Cricket Stumps with the centre Stump missing.
Anyone have any ideas as what they are ??.
I cant post any photos as its saying the files are too large
they are here

Re: Micks 4mm LNER Models
I'm just guessing really Mick, but the "wickets" look similar to a part in the 52F kit I'm working on. On mine it's an air reservoir retaining strap, Is there a reservoir or vacuum cylinder that needs securing?
