Hi,
I thought it'd be useful if we had a central resource for the various bit and pieces available from different producers for MK2s in 7mm. So to get the ball rolling here are some parts I've produced/in production presently.
AVAILABLE:
Passenger Communication cord reset keys. The is one on each side of a coach and they indicate to the guard which coach the emergency cord was pulled in. The guard rushes along, rescues person, turns key back round and everything is dandy. There are enough for 10 coaches on a sprue. Price is £5 per fret including p&p Drop me a pm if you want some.
Bogie footsteps for B4 and B5 bogies. They're etched in 0.9mm nickel silver (0.01 under scale thickness of foot step timbers but paint will remedy that) and were designed with the Easybuild bogies in mind. They fit the JLTRT ones too. If you want to represent the bolts on fixing brackets I recommend the Grandtline ones. There are half etched pilot holes which you can drill out to include these. There are enough for 8 bogies per sprue. Price is £18 per fret including p&p Drop me a pm if you want some.
Detail sheets 1 & 2 for JLTRT MK2s. Price is £16 per fret including p&pDrop me a pm if you want some. These etches have details for 8 coaches, covering:

IN DEVELOPMENT
- I did my first 3D print for the door lights seen on MK2 and MK3 coaches. These didn't come out quite as I wanted so I'm looking into alternative printers to see what can be done. Watch this space...
- Roe-vac rood air vents.
- Etches and 3D prints for converting the JLTRT MK2e/fs into the Class 488 Gatwick Exp stock.
OTHER SUPPLIERS
EASYBUILD - Do some very nice B4 bogies. They're basic but with some of my details and various other bits of plastic strip can be made into very good representations. They're very crisp mouldings and a set includes wheels and bearings.Cheers
