Locolines Wickham Trolley

Hey!
Jim drew my attention to this newest FULL kit from the Locolines stable, and just under £20 makes it certainly very desirable. Needless to say the Seibiant Hill Raiwlay hopes to aquire one at Stoneleigh

!

I saw that a few weeks ago on 16mm E-group. I think they are bringing out a full 'Chunky' kit too. I certainly will say my 'Quarry Hunslike' kit, 'E. Jago' is very good. Recommended...

I think a Locolines Tram kit will be finding a home at the WLR soon

I would like to get the Ivor the engine from locolines, just as something totally whimsical for my Wales based railway.
I know this might send this horribly off topic but how many forum members are hoping to go to Stonleigh. I definatly am

Haha! I've just received my Southern Green Chunky, and I also got a maroon Corris coach! (special offers due to experimental kits)

They probably don't do black because the detail wouldn't show up.

Made a start on my Whikham Trolley today

Just about to give the bits another coat of varnish.

Chassis is interesting...you realy need acces to a pillar drill as you need to drill 4 holes for the axles. The chassis is made of plastic and card

In the wheel or the chassis?

In the chassis.

You get a 200mm peice of clear plastic that you have to cut in half then drill 2 holes in chassis. It's held together with card spacers

SillyBilly · Post by **SillyBilly** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 1:59 pm

I guess you do somthing to hold them together, in order for the holes to remain true?

steamyjim · Post by **steamyjim** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 2:53 pm

Theres a chassis spacer than runs the entire length i think. Need to read the instructions a few times again though
