Hi All the pair of Cylinder have fallen off my Sir Drefaldwyn model, Has anyone got any that they don't want? I have tried contacting Langley but got no answer either by phone or email.

Are the cylinders plastic and part of the Bachmann chassis? Or are they cast white metal and part of the kit?

They are cast and fit over the Bachmann cylinders from what I remember.

Is it possible to scratch build one using brass or styrene tubes. Use the old broken cylinders as your template for dimentions or is this a complicated build?

Robin.

I have no doubt that in common with most other 009 white metal kit manufactures Langly cast (or contract out to be cast) the kit in one complete mould, so they may not have any spare parts without breaking up a complete kit.

It should be possible with a few bits of plasticard, just time consuming, Robin.
