Latest build





Based on a ancient DJH ex NER C7 a model which will be 2206 in due course of the loco fitted with the ACFI system. Only two ex NER Locos were so fitted upto the begining of WW2 .

Good photo of 2206 here, which this model will be off. A lot off additional parts are being used , the ancient DJH kit is far from the best kit I have built .

The Tender will be replaced with a Dave Bradwell version in due course.

I've only just come across this thread Mike. Have you got a 4mm layout now or have you joined the other group?

Oh, nice. How did you find the kit to build? Not my period, but I do like a Sentinel...

Current build a Arthur Kimber LNER J25 sadly my last kit of Arthurs, it appears no more kits are being produced due to his advanced age .
Nice work Mick. I thought his daughter Janet was keeping the range going albeit in a small way? That would be a shame as I've only just realised that I could use a J77 with a Fletcher cab on my planned layout.

Morgan,

She hasnt posted anything since October last year on RM Web, and that only related to the Spares list.

Hopefully something will appear. at some point ???

Thanks, Mick. I got no reply to a recent PM on RMW, so I've sent an email instead. If the answer is no to a J77 then I'll be on the lookout for one from somebody's kit mountain. :)

So you've become North Easternized? An interesting development if so.

Unless of course you aim to depict an old loco sold out of long service to dock, factory or mine...
