I've subscribed to see what this is like but I'm 90% sure I won't be buying it when it gets released. Two reasons :- Firstly the cost it works out at around £1000 to rich for my pocket nowadays, but all these partworks seam to be getting to expensive. Secondly you can buy O gauge white metal kits for around £400 thats a massive saving, ok so it doesn't come pre-painted and you'll have to glue or solder most of the kit together but even so it still cheeper and would be more enjoyment to build. Well thats my 2 pence worth  My Favourite Building:- 1919 https://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=posts&m=339517&#post339517 -
