Scruffs Junction on tour - help required, now provided

[Dog Star]

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-blt chair has an "oval" base 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

I have a sufficient quantity of spare Exactoscale 7CH102 2-bolt GWR chairs. They are still on sprues with 5LH & 5RH keys. If you PM your address I'll post them asap - probably early next week - I'm working throughout PO opening hours for the next few days.

Expect a delivery said the man... so there I was, standing beside the A303, when a big white motor purrs to a halt and the near side window drops. A plain brown package appears through the opening and whoosh away goes the car. Maybe the driver of the staid, respectable, SUV following the white motor might have pondered on the dubious nature of what he had seen - as far as I know there is nothing illegal in trading Exactoscale products.

Thank you Dave, track repairs underway and Scruffs moves ever closer to the first showing.

Just to clarify, Graham; you're proposing that Exactoscale track components be considered a legal high?

I'm sure the dealing is legal. I still have some residual concern about the effects on the general population.

Indifference would seem most likely...
