Lester kit instructions for 4mm scale Barry Railway Class K

[andrewnummelin]

This is a long shot! Because it may be relevant for a club project, I've investigated my stack of old stuff and examined the C.L. Lester kit for the Barry Railway class K 0-6-2T, bought more than 35 years ago. The general introduction to the instructions states "There will be be quite a few diagrams to help you, as when I made up the prototype I felt a few diagrams would be better than an endless string of instructions that might not be understood."[ However, there are only simple side and end views and a couple of pages of dense text.

Does anyone know of a copy of the intended diagrams, or must I regard the kit essentially as a help towards scratch building?

The particular challenge I expect is in the assembly of what is intended to represent the bar frames. Compensation or springing is likely to be "fun"!

It's a long time since built my kits and instructions have long been lost but I don't remember having any diagrams to help. If it is of any use, Redcraft took over the kits.

Steve Neill is looking at his 7mm version on the kit ATM. It might be worth asking him
