    Whilst work continues on Dubsy the time has come to start gathering parts for the overhaul of Shelton shed mate Hawarden. She needs a new set of springs to get the ball rolling, I have a copy of the original drawing - any ideas as to who can produce a top quality job ( at the right price ) ?.

    No. But Owen Springs seem to provide most of the replacement leaf springs for locos, these days. http://www.owensprings.co.uk
    I've also had some from GB Springs in the past. http://www.gbsprings.co.uk
    I've had volute springs from Teste Spring Co. but don't know whether they do large leaf springs http://www.testedspring.co.uk
    I'd be pleased to hear of other suppliers.

    Dave Osbourne is the loco spring contact at Owen Springs, 07974 644652, they are slow to respond, try & get a fixed price written quote & timescale, in case the price of steel goes up during the time that they are making the springs..

    They repaired the springs last year for one of our LMS brakevans.

    There is a company in India who make springs for locos and with all the nessecary paper work that is required to go with them and i believe that they are also cheaper and quicker than some companies in the UK.
