Does anyone know where I can get some tiny nuts for the accucraft chopper coupling bolts?

Zach,

The holes either side of the chopper box are 10BA clearance, so that is the size you need.

I must say I agree with Matt and that the white roof doesn't work with the plain blue.

Thanks for the info!
Lining is now definately on the cards now...

had it once.
darn you imp

dont like the white.
because it falls into my catagory of things that dont 'work' and isnt right. even though it is real, it just doesnt look right. Blacks used allot because it looks good.

Problem with that lineing Andy is that one of the lines isn't straight and others aren't parallel

nothing a new bit or adjusting it wouldnt solve.

Hmm, I'll leave it white for the time being to see if I like or dislike. Lining is being arranged. should be cracking once done!
The white roof should stop andy from knicking it at the weekend!!!
Where can I get said bolts-fast?

But this was an experimental or trial loco built for testing and sold on cheap as it was slightly different to the final intended design. It was found to be too big etc but perfect for a 2ft 9 and 3/4 inch railway so the DVLR bought her and painted her to local colours.
SO THERE!

cant find this info in my bowaters album book

Thats because there were a few problems with the locos and Kerr Stuart burnt their records of it and started a fresh hense why no-one has heared of this perticular loco. In a huge fire all the DVLR documents were lost which explains why noone has heared of my railway either.
SO THERE!

I must admit I am not keen on that roof, but the beams look good.

Bolts for the choppers, if MTA is correct on 10BA then:

DON'T USE MACC MODELS

They send half an order, or in my case not at all and you don't get your money back or what you ordered despite constantly contacting them.

EKP Supplies are much better, if you order by twelve noon you'll get your order next day.

I love that roof. It makes the loco look different from anything else. It makes a statement about you, bold, new & exciting

This sounds like a recent nameplate topic...
