Colin Ashby Kits

Can anyone give me the address of anyone who supplies Colin Ashby Kits please

I don't know if Parkside Dundas carry his kits, or indeed if he still trades in the retail market, but 009 Sales normally have reasonable stocks of both types of 4 wheel coach and the open wagon. Not sure about anything else, try asking Brian Guilmant what he has!

Many thanks, will try Brian. I am building a layout comprising of a Park layout with a small railway in it. Colin's 4 wheel coaches are just the right size, for the closed coaches.

If he did'nt sell any at Xpong Brian should have plenty that I sent him

Just a newbie to OO9, previously worked P4, many, many years ago. Just joined OO9 Society and received "Colin Ashby OO9 Hopper wagon" kit as part of OO9 Society welcome pack.
I cannot accept plastic wheels in plastic bearings

1. Where can I get suitable metal wheels and suitable pinpoint bearings for this wagon? I have spent endless ages searching on web.

2. Where can I get more Colin Ashby vehicles?

3. Even adapting various rolling stock chassis, freight and passenger, I would still need metal wheels. I would just like a reliable supplier with reliable b/b and gauge measurements.

Please, all ideas and suggestions would be most welcome.

Many Thanks

Tom

Parkside Dundas supply good metal wheels in various diameters, disc or spoked, on plastic centres and steel axles. They do mail orders. Back to back is usually OK but I would check them anyway. They should be 7.5mm.

Availability of the Colin Ashby kits was published in the Sales list distributed by Brian Ellsmore. There are several in the latest list. I would send him a message at members-sales@009society.com.
