A Dave Andrews Castle class with Collett tender came my way via ebay, and is going to seriously slow down my plans to build my 7mm layout........
Despite the instructions suggesting smaller diameter wheels, others have said that scale wheels will fit and avoid further problems with using the smaller throw of incorrect wheels......
these are my preferred bearings and require some thought and marking out to keep the axles at the same height as the designer intended
Beautifull etched springs, but will get in the way of cutting out .....so will be replaced with those from the Reynauld range......
Couplings done and frames cut.......
