I have a spare load somewhere and maybe a part of the antenna as well, have to have a look when I get home tonight.
What part of the world are you?

Dave,
I am currently making a "Pixie Lookalike" using Mike K's 3D files and I would like to finish it off with an antenna that looks alike too. So before sending it off to Doug, please would you take a picture of the loading coil and post it on here with dimensions..... length/diameter.

Hi Paul
Since I've got an OS Pixie sitting on the shelf next to me, I'll save Dave.
As you can see, there is a raised section around the middle, either side of it is 18.7mm diameter. It isn't quite symmetrical, the bottom has a bigger hole than the top, but for a reproduction, I would keep it simple.
Cheers
Mike

Many thanks Mike......... I don't have any green filament but there is a Pixie on ebay at the moment with a black loading coil so mine will be a repro of the black version! I will post pictures once it is finished but at the moment I am having trouble squeezing in all the electrickery!
