Hi everyone, I did post this on sales but might as well post on here. If anyone has the kit and is willing to sell, please let me know so we can negotiate a price. I
For those without the last Meridian catalogue (or an encyclopaedic knowledge of 009 kits) Oscar is after the Meridian kit for Corris number 4 / Tallylyn Railway "Edward Thomas".
If it is of any help Oscar, Chivers Finelines also did a kit to build Edward Thomas, but that too appears not to be produced by Five79 (who now make the old Chivers 009 range). Might be worth an e-mail to them to see if there are any plans to do a run of kits at sometime.
It might also be worth enquiering with Narrow Planet, as the sell some of the old Meridian kits, both under the Meridian name and also the Mosskito brand (Neil Moss kits). The latter contains the old Meridian white metal kits and a quick e-mail to see if it is on a re-in list will not do any harm.
Another point to make is that both kits are designed the Bachmann 0-4-0 (the 'white box' version, not the early one with plastic valve gear). I might also be possible to use one of Neville Kent's chassis but I don't recall seeing one built this way so do not know if such a conversion is possible or not.
