Australian 5vers thought they disappeared
No , they have not disappeared although one company had to close down as the owner(70yrs) wanted a quiet life. Unfortunately they won awards for their aftermarket service One thing that I have notice...

Robert, I know that, from past references, you have regs on the rear overhang. What kind of pin weights do you see on these smaller FWs, since the axles tend to be much further back, compared to U.S. FWs? Do the mfrs weight them to the tail to help compensate for otherwise heavy pins?
