Thanks for the advice about cleaning rods. I actually picked up the early set quite some time ago, then gave them a close inspection and realised that my ol' truckers hands probably haven't got the dexterity to assemble the PE stuff to a satisfactory standard. Will likely get one of my lads (an electrician with pianist's fingers) to put them together in exchange for a small bribe!John Glover wrote: ↑Thu Jan 08, 2026 7:17 am Nice build so far Kernewk .May be of interest that I got my early working convoy light kit from Heikes Modellbaugasse from Germany. Also if you are going to go the Aber way of cleaning rods and brackets Kit 16 024 is correct. Brackets for five cleaning rods plus these are longer. Correct for a initial. Aber kit 16 025 is correct for what we regards as standard production with six rods that are shorter and positioned on the deck further back than a initial.regards John.
And cheers for the heads up regarding the brass rear light. Hadn't been on that site before, but will probably be sending some money their way soon
