This topic originated in August 2018 when I needed some of these chairs to complete PW changes prior to the Autumn meeting of the S7 Group. Dave Summers came to my aid with a packet of 250 chairs so Scrufts did go to the Ball , sorry Show. Now that Peter and I are extending the layout to include a colliery screens and a representation of Tufts Junction the same problem has occurred again. Read on here .
After much gentle nagging Peter and I have agreed to take our Forest of Dean layout to the Autumn meeting of the S7 Group... Tickenham on 6th October. The layout is not finished, not even nearly not finished... lots to do and there is a significant gotcha on the folding table.
C&L Finescale announced at end of July that the Exactoscale brand and Exactoscale products had been taken back by the owner of Exactoscale. To that end there are no Exactoscale 7mm PW products shown on the C&L website and that is the gotcha... I have need of a small quantity of Exactscale GWR 2-bolt plain line chairs for 7mm track. You might be thinking that there is a GWR 2-bolt chair in the C&L range and you are correct, just that the products from C&L and from Exactoscale are different.
Exactoscale GWR 2-bolt chair has a rectangular base and is appropriate to the '00' rail section which was introduced circa 1900 (and that became BS95 at a later date).
C&L GWR 2-bolt chair has an "oval" base and is appropriate to the 85lb rail section which was introduced in the mid 1880s... and used also with the GWR concrete pots PW of the early 1940s.
I want to obtain about 50 chairs with left hand key and 50 chairs with right hand key. What can you do to help us?
regards, Graham
