From what I understand, the WUHU/Bowande is the same as the Kingscale one, which has three working cylinders.
Kingscale have cut their price which would have upset any that ordered it at the original price.
The G1MCo is made by Accucraft and only has two cylinders.

Bob,
You are 'working on it' because .......
How is it?
How does it run?
Is it yours?
Are you just fitting a better whistle. They did have a very unique sound.
It certainly looks okay.

Hi Guys:

1) who sells the WUHU brand in the United States?

2) who is http://www.kingscalelivesteam.co.uk/aboutgauge1.php and who sells Kingscale in the United States?

Thank you,

Norman

Hi Norman,

1) I'm not sure anyone has formally advertised that they are bringing in WuHu stuff, but I'm sure that there are people who have bought small groups of engines to sell.
Maybe try Jason Kovac.
If you just want one, I guess you can contact them directly.

2) Kingscale have contracted with WuHu to built them both a Gauge 3 Britannia, and the Gauge 1 A4's.
Just an enthusiast who wanted to have models built I guess.
They are perhaps not happy that WuHu is now selling them direct too!
All the best,

Further to the discussion about KIngscale and Wuhu selling the same model of A4:-
On the Kingscale site, it now says "WE NO LONGER SUPPLY GAUGE 1 MODELS THESE ARE NOW AVAILABLE FROM BOWANDE DIRECT".
I guess perhaps if they are selling your locomotive direct, why would you try to sell them as well!
All the best,

JIm,
I have just been right through SitG 126, and I can't find any mention of the Wuhu A4!
Can you tell me which page please.
OR is 127 out already, but not available as an E-edition yet?
Glad it has arrived in good shape, and look forward to seeing it at Stavers.
Cheers,

Jim,
I just realised that back at the end of January, I was advised that 126 was available, so I now realise that it is indeed 127 that you are referring to.
Without a 'hard' copy, I loose track as to when they are published.
Cheers,
