Accucraft "Mona" in Ailsa Green & Isle of Man Wagons

[Jeremy Cumberland]

What have you got so far and where are you situated?

Sorry for the delay. I wrote a reply and must have forgotten to post it.

I'm based in Cumberland (hence the username) and have a small selection of Accucraft coaches (bogie and 4-wheel), G vans, and I was fortunate to pick up three M wagons having missed their original release - these are real beauties. I also have a couple of Metro Ashbury L bolsters and H wagons, and IP Engineering K wagons. The kits aren't made up, and to tell the truth I haven't done any actual modelling for ages, and I have some 7/8" scale Dinorwic Quarry stuff that I want to get done before building any Isle of Man kits. I did find a couple of assembled DJB wagons a couple of years ago - I forget what, exactly, but perhaps an M and a K - but I thought the price too high.

And I have a locomotive, which I hesitate to mention in this thread because it is a live steam Mona in Ailsa green. I actually bought a red one, but it had several things wrong with it and Accucraft offered to replace it, but by then they only had green ones left. It's a lovely runner and I'll not part with it. I wish you well in finding one of your own.

Does anyone have any news on Metro Ashbury Model Works / EMA Heritage (Ed More)? The website disappeared a year or two ago I noticed. I'd been looking forwards to the large Fs appearing.

Saw Ed last week on the Island, the open K cattle vans are not far off being ready, not sure about anything else.
