I think Jordan might say "pay attention"... see here .Looks great! Just hope they can easily be S7'd
Would like to see a wasp-stripes livery.

Key to the conversion is going to be retaining the quartering of the cranks - the sample that we looked at in November last year was said, by Dapol staff, to have the cranks on knurled sections of the axle.

The referenced post gives information to help make a decision... we have an example on order and that is going to be converted to S7 track gauge. Whether we retain / re-profile the Dapol wheels or replace the wheel and axle sets by Slater's products is yet to be decided.I would think the other key is the space between the frames!
Just comparing 3 years of fighting the (unfinished) MMP with the above,and thinks why did I bovver

Or my first S7 conversion on my Sentinel it was a case of taking the chassis out, applying full power to the motor and trim/dress/hack/butcher (delete as required) the flanges with a needle file as the wheels went round. Frequent use of a vernier caliper to make sure B2B and flange sizes met the S7 published dimensions. [didn't have access to a lathe at that point!]It would need extreme bravery, centre drilled axle ends, and very, very fine cuts...
