He has given me a whitemetal kit and chassis as in the subject title.

I have made up the body and cleaned up the gunk that was around the chassis cogs.

I'll look to buy a Tramfabriek replacement motor for it if it's not too large for the 13xx body?. Has anyone done this?

I'd be grateful for any advice, such as any problems encountered and how to solve them.

Thanks

yes--ive done one, it was my first attempt at a coreless conversion. Unfortunately i got it wrong--the position of the worm wasnt quite right . THe result is it runs beautifully forwards--but reverse means the loco body lifts up leans over and frog hops along.

Try Bees Hill for a kit 76.

Just had an email from West Hill Wagon Works advertising a range of 1500V Woodhead OHL structures. It would be nice to know if there's a 76 on the way from somebody.

Good one.

With the unfortunate performances from England and Scotland, I feel the thread needs a joke to brighten our days.

It's just been brought to my attention that the Pullmans' ETA is Q1/27.

Found 2 of these (last in shop) so snapped 'em up as I like 'em. I now have 5 but am seeking another 5 (ad on N'Porium)

Yes, that's what I thought should happen. I'm sure that's what I did last time, but it didn't seem to work this time around. Ah well. Thanks for sorting it, Mick.

Cheers,

Not the last one, but the one in 2014 I think.
