Converting Lionheart Auto Trailer to S7

[daifly]

A suggestion received recently is that MRJ 221 might be helpful as that issue contains an article, by Barry Norman, in which the interior of a Lionheart auto trailer is enhanced.
Anyone able to scans the article for me?

Did you get the scans? If not, I can do them for you. I was away from home when you posted the above.

Earlier this year Rob Thompson and myself asked David White of Slaters to manufacture a "special" 1/8th axle to enable us to fit Slaters S7 wheels to Dapol (ex-Lionheart) mineral wagons. These axles are circa 43.0 mm over pin points... shorter than the standard Slater's 7mm axle for wagons and carriages. I have had the opportunity to try our axles with the Dapol (ex-Lionheart) GWR autocoach - the conversion is simple and uses the original Dapol/Lionheart bearings.

These special axles are available from both Rob and me.

I shall have a converted carriage at the S7 Group Autumn Meeting this coming weekend, see "S7 Area" for details. We shall have the special axles at the meeting.
