Thanks laurieb - never come across this website before. The lack of Castles is odd. I have seen a 5" design for Kings at GLR and of course Reeves do a 7.25 - in an idle moment I think I calculated their kit costs seven grand! - but who does a 3.5" King?
Cheers
MM

Hi MyfordMatt,
Just had a look in Blackgates Engineering catalogue,and they supply drawings and castings for a 3-1/2" gauge 'King'.They also do the 5" gauge version.
Some years ago H.Clarksons of York did a 3-1/2" King designed by H.Jackson.I'm not sure but the Blackgates 'King' might be to this design-but don't quote me on that!!

Thanks LaurieB - just got off the phone to Blackgates and they are sending me a printout off both King offerings.

Sounds good that does MyfordMatt.
From what dealings I've had with Blackgates they seem to be ok.
