Re: Kingette

Dear John,

Thanks for the reply.

I rather thought that the 22 spoke wheels would be a bit of a problem
since they were only used on the Star, Castle, Saints and Kings.
Anyway I will keep an eye out. The cylinders are a bit easier although
I have no objection to fabricating them. The inside ones are available
from the association, and the outside ones are 'standard' (I think!!).
I believe the tender and bogie wheels should be no problem. I do have
the plans for the 3 1/2 G King which may well have been the ones that
LBSC alludes to in the Kingette series. If so I may be able to scale
off those for the (many) bits which are not detailed in the
construction series. I will be able to check after my forthcoming
house and workshop move......

Many thanks for the offer of info from ME - I may well take you up on
that in due course.

Best Regards

Tim
