List of current traders

Hi Guys

I am just getting back into EM gauge and besides the adverts in the railway magazines, is there a list of all the suppliers anywhere?

I now have three SR(LBSCR) terriers in various states and I now wish to build three perseverance chasses for them but I am not sure if they are still going or who may have taken them over, hence my inquiry.

 

Regards

Colin Rainsbury

Sorry Colin – I wrote a long reply to you but the fugging EMGS software lost it again, as usual!

Your best (only?) bet is here: https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/locomotive/lcp53/

Best,

Paul

Hi Paul

Thank you for that that does help with one project, I think that site has a lot of useful bits on it.

Since I now have 3 terriers to get to EM gauge standards I think I will need two chassis etches since one has the perseverance etch and the others are 1 Hornby and 1 Dapol model.

 

Regards

Hi Colin – Perseverance are long gone sadly but as Paul says, Wizard Models sell the Comet chassis kit for the Terrier, and Branchlines also sell a chassis kit for it. They are not on-line but details below from their catalogue:

Thank’s Stuart.

I have tried to contact Branchlines, but so far I have not been able to contact them.

Regards

I’m assuming he was at Scaleforum? Perhaps someone could confirm as I wasn’t able to get there this year. If so it’s possible he’s been busy with the preparations/travel etc.

[Richard SlipperParticipant]

Branchlines was at Scaleforum.

I can recommend the Branchline chassis for the Terrier. It is more detailed than the Comet version. I successfully built one of these many years ago with crude springs and it ran quite well. Now I have to figure out how to fit it underneath Hornby’s new body.

[Colin RainsburyParticipant]

Yes once I have made contact with Branchlines, I may very well have to buy three chassis since I now have one whitemetal version and one each of the Dapol and Hornby models

[Colin RainsburyParticipant]

Well, it now appears that Markits are no longer, so I was wondering if anyone has a replacement supplier that they have started to use?

I do hope that the family of Markits find someone to continue the company as it was a very useful bits supplier.

[Stuart FirthParticipant]

For wheels I usually use Alan Gibson. Not quite so user friendly as Markits but much nicer to look at.
