128 forum posts 46 photos	Can anybody recommend a good supplier for ready made coiled springs suitable for the various different applications of a simple Northumbrian 3 1/2" gauge, beginners engine. I need a whole batch of different springs i.e., tender axlebox, main engine axleboxes and I have also decided to give the engine a slightly more contemporary feel by adding sprung buffers and sprung coupling hooks.

They are also a tad more expensive! Bob D
