Bachmann chassis never seen one of the new ones running. Where do you source them from ?

eBay mostly. I have been able to get a few for around £50 each. Given the £3 Mallard models I procured, the costs overall have remained still lower than the Railroad A4s and Hornby's main range. It is getting more difficult to get them however.

I have never seen any I presume buy it now pages ?

Parts everything is getting harder to source and more expensive. Not as much as a new C1 however

First up a fictional Shark Ballast Brake. As far as I can tell the actual LNER Version has never been made a kit ?.

Conversion of Hornby Kingfisher to post war Merlin.

Looking very nice Mick. It's a shame Bachmann didn't bother to line the wheels on the V2. I think I read somewhere the V2 wheels are not the correct size. I presume otherwise it would have been easy enough to substitute with A2 wheels.

Its a big shame they didn't do a huge amount more to the V2 as well as lining the wheels

The wheels are correct @ 24mm as to whether they could be changed with the A2 I won't be finding out . The Locos are Jim's and the other reason is the A2 is done in Darlington Green by Bachmann not Doncaster Green as the V2

cheers

113 needing a bit more work.

Mick, you'll have produced more Pacifics than the LNER soon!

Great stuff as always!

[mick b]
