If you can find a copy of the model Railway Constructor for Jan 1961 there is an article in there to make a 4CEP from Kitmaster coaches showing you exactly where to cut and join. As hornby coaches are similar in size to Kitmaster this should help. If you cant find a copy DM me.

It seems that liquid latex - as used for mould making - can be thinned with distilled water or ammonia. If it can be made runny enough then this could be used as a substitute for Copydex.

Contact the seller, explain that it was misdescribed. You may be able to negotiate a partial refund if you want to keep it. The seller probably doesn't want the hassle of you returning it and refunding you the whole amount you paid and then relisting it.

I'm after a little help please. Does anyone know of a supplier of replacement scale profile wheels with the gear wheel attatched for the range of Hornby and Lima tender drive units? I have asked Ultrascale but they are unable to help.
