[modeleng] Re: Clarkson Locomotives

Hi there Andy,

Just to confirm - you are overhauling - so you can at least work to the 
original poarts for dimensions.

If you need castings, you could use the new Blackgates ones for the 3.5" 
gauge A3, though I'm suspecting you don't need to replace many of them.

(Alan, one thought - if the Blackgates castings are available, then maybe 
the trading in the Clarksons drawings will hot up a bit, as people will be 
able to build the loco again.)

Yours,


Rich.
