[mick b]

Hi
Can anyone assist

Thompson A2/3 LNER livery some questions

Was the rear of the tender lined out or plain applegreen. I am building the DJH kit ther are steps and a handrail on the rear. Hence i am presuming plain

Buffer Housings black or red

In the kit is asurrounding frame for the cab glazing was this wood as on A4's:?: also was the frame around the forward facing cab glazing Brass colour

Any info re this or anything relating to Thomsons Pacifics would be great

For anyones info , the kit is generally good. However no rivet detail on the footplate at all. Poor line up of slidebars and motion bracket. Perhaps the PDK kit may be better

thanks
Mick

Hi, rear of tender is panelled on some locos but not others post -war ,
they should be lined out according to painting details but it seems after the war this was not always carried out for whatever reason.

I think the seats should be brown like old car seats ( leather ) thats what I do with them and no one has complained

Very nice Mick, what radius curve are you running it on?

[mick b]

Good question short answer is i dont know!! I have a layout consisting of the old track piece sitting on a piece of 2x1 on which the photos were taken, She runs ok on the track which is very poor indeed.
i intend moving house early next year and i will then start a layout. I hope to make curves as large as possible.
I doubt if she would cope with anything under 3foot radius , time will tell!!!
