This page arose out of a discussion on spanner about stringing sets.
The string used for stringing was slightly thinner, before the war, than
part 40 supplied in the sets. After the war the string was thicker than part
40. Also special washers, originally used in Hornby Train wagons, were used
in the knotting process.
Below is an image of the reverse side of a black/yellow/zinc 9
set. The stringing card containing sprocket
wheels. The zinc bolts (as opposed to brass) in the wheel bosses can
be seen. For more information on stringing click
