I want the coal fired Edrig kit

Posted: **Sat Nov 10, 2007 3:30 pm**

I thought about getting a shawe boiler then stick it on a superior.

Yeh thats a good idea. When I get the Cheddar Hercules plans I may get a coal fired boiler for that

DJB now do a coal fired Wrekin

Posted: **Sat Nov 10, 2007 5:52 pm**

Well I might just save up for one of them then stick a pony wheel and trailing wheels on it cos I think they look over balance but thats just me being picky.

Yep thats what I thought.

I wouldnt say know of someone gave me one though

Here's a pic of my DJB Edrig coal fired boiler kit, beautifully made ! I can't wait to get started with building the loco.

I didn't know DJB were offering a boiler for Wrekin as well. I did read that they were going to offer a coal fired boiler for RH's "Billy"
I agree with comments on adding trailing wheels to Wrekin it does look a bit odd at the back end !

Very Nice John! I presume you'll paint the cladding?

Must resist buying it

very nice engine there John would love a coal fired engine one day but way out of my price range and postage toaus would be a killer as well. Ill just sit back and drool

Give into your anger. Only through call firing will you experience the full power of the dark side of the garden railway.

Oh definitely, I just don't know what colour yet

So many choices, but I DO know it won't be PINK

Posted: **Tue Nov 13, 2007 1:28 pm**

Now that would be something different.

No Jim, it's also called a boiler exam, exam being short for examination, like in school!

Sensible Man, have you heared that there's a German company who've just released a coal-fired Cheddar 'Reisa' for just over £2000!
