Re: [7mm] O7 kits

Hi Stephen

I`m sure the present version of this kit will have changed-as I mention to John
there are several parts which I don`t think would be in today`s kits-one being a
brass boiler casting incorpoating the smokebox and boiler bands.Also the buffers
and couplings are very high quality,and the frames are substantial . Just in the
middle of a D32 at the moment,but looking forward to starting the N8 as I get
the feeling it could make up well (I hope!)

Regards
TerryR

Hi Terry

07 kits were bought many years ago by George Norton who passed them on to
London Road. When John Redrup of London Road stopped 7mm kits they went to
Fourtrack and now I believe are with Gladiator.

Depending on the kit you have, I would think that it may have changed quite a
lot. Not like some we have discussed on this group.

Regards

Stephen Barnfield
