LNER Pacific, brakes and spring sources

[mickoo]

I'm still going round in circles trying to unravel which locos had what and who supplies castings etc, there are hints and snippets all over the web so I thought I might try and gather it all into one place, primarily for myself but for others too in the future and to prevent further dilution in Nicks thread.

Please feel free to add information and I'll update this first post as a one stop shop for who does what and hopefully part or order numbers as well as photos so folks can see exactly what they are getting, I'll add photos as and when I get my relevant parts for the Peppercorn A1 and Finney A4 etc, once I know what I need .

That green is a bit on the hard side to read, a nice blue maybe a bit better on the eye.

Click and the door had closed
the next sound was of a gun cocking
but I was around the corner by then
and in the next cab.

I can verify that Ragstone castings are pretty good, and his service is excellent too, even mail order.
