Info on UK steam kits

Jim King <jking@...>
 

Hi all,

I've read with great interest the various comments about a UK source for
a US-based prototype. Can someone pass on to me the name and email
address to the recommended source(s)? I'm interested in producing an
HOn3 and On3 ET&WNC ten-wheeler in a combination of brass, white metal
and urethane. The mechanism has always been the stumbling block,
particularly drivers, so if we can resolve this issue plus frame and
can-motored drive, I can handle the rest.

Thanks to anyone who responds.

I would try Backwoods Minitures - address in the Gaz - he didn't have a a
e-mail address last time. He's made some climaxes in Sn3, Garrats,
etc.from 9mm on up. Great looking stuff. Bob

I would suggest you talk with John Agnew of Railmaster Imports. He
produces in Sn3 and has quite a few kits under his belt.

I model the ET&WNC in Sn3 and have a couple of his 2-8-0 kits. (Any
other Sn3's for ET&WNC?) He produces excellent kits that go together
very, very well.

So far he has produced C-16's, C-17's, C-18's T-12's and SP narrow gauge
ten wheelers along with Pacific Coast/Uintah 2-8-0's and White Pass
Diesels. The frame and drivers come pre-mounted to ensure smooth
operation. He also uses a NWSL gearbox and Sagami can motors.

John's kits run just shy of $500.00 U.S. He also sells RTR versions for
under $900.00. I don't know if he is at all interested in HOn3 or On3
but he is a very helpful individual. Now if you can get him to do it in
Sn3, I would be mightly grateful!

John's E-mail is: John@railmaster.co.nz

He also has a web site at: www.railmodel.org.nz/Sn3/

Last weekend he was in Pasadena for the Sn3 Symposium, I don't know when
he is headed back home.

Thanks for the help. I will contact him about making a frame, drivers and
valve gear. I can handle the rest of the engine and tender. If I can get him
excited about this project, we will finally have HOn3 and On3 ten wheelers at a
price far below that of quoted brass.

Hi Tuhr,

Thanks for the info on Railmaster. I will contact him and see what he has to
say. I've also contacted Roger Chivers in England on the same subject. I'm
asking for input from both of them on HOn3 and On3 versions of the ET 4-6-0s to
start, and other stuff that will follow depending on the success of the ten
wheelers.

Regards,

Jim,

I hope things work out with the H0n3 and 0n3 ET 4-6-0's. As you know, I've
been very interested in this for over ten years. It seems we've been
through so many missed chances. Meanwhile, the brass prices continue to
climb.

The production of the ten-wheelers would be the crowning event for ET steam
modelers.

Keep up the good work and bring us up to date as to the outcome!

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

I got a reply from Roger Chivers in England. He's just concluded several years
as his mom's caregiver before she died last month. Understandably, he has a
huge backlog of his own models, so I'm not sure (he isn't either) of what
direction he'll take now that he has more time. He did sound positive, but
also stated he'd think about my request for a while, then get back to me.

I have not heard from Railmaster yet. I will also contact Backwood Miniatures,
another British company on "our" subject.

I will pass on worthwhile info to the group as I get it. I'm trying to get a
clear direction on engines by June's convention. That should be plenty of time
to get a yes or no from these guys and related prices.

Jim,
I am putting together a newsletter this week and can put in it any
announcement of products, whatever scale and info you want to put in.
Please send info to here and my office address, which is
