Mike P,
I have these cast in nickel silver, but they need a lot of cleaning up and then M2 LH and RH taps and dies to make work properly. I have to do that before sending to customers which takes me absolutely ages and is really boring. When Slaters introduced theirs I was delighted not to have to do it anymore! I do however find theirs rather tricky to assemble and the only other G3 screw coulungs I know of are by Walsall which are assembled and easy - fine for rolling stock but not really good enough for a loco. I do have some castings still and I could loan LH and RH taps and dies if you really want to have a go!
Very sorry you won't be at Flitwick Jon, but absoultely understand your reasons.
