in my honest opinion this kit is the best on the market at the mo,for many reasons,the engineering that goes into the parts is awesome,just look at each pack and try to work out how much you would pay for the parts,I calculated that the cost was over double that of the actual cost.this is a very high end piece of kit indeed,and recommend it to beginners and expert alike.this monster is going to be nearly 2 foot long,whether you paint it or leave it as come,it will great,even the wife said she likes it(very rare)and chosen a spot in the living room to show it.

Hi Karl, I`m not greatly into trains, but, I`m seriously following your build as I love the engineering side of this piece of kit. You never know I could always be persuaded to take this on at a later date. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

thank you del and alan.this is my first skirmish into trains(metal)and the way it is packed,you can see before you open it what part is required at that time.the assembly can be frustrating,like the rivets,1mm.x 2mm.you do need some, well I do, magnifying headgear and a sticky picker upperer if you know what I mean,there's one in mr.t's official build.the screws to are small,but getting used to them. I've bought a rail stand kit,and am hoping that it will be long enough for this loco. more of that later.

Coming along nicely Karl , I'm saving mine for the long Winter Nights. Keep up the good work I must agree with you, the quality of parts is exceptional and there is far more detail than I expected, and I was expecting a lot. In addition the packaging is excellent and well thought out, even down to the little screws in their little individual plastic holders.

hi court and steve, I was going to do a series of pics on the packaging and parts,so will cover that next delivery.the weight is going to be massive,as it is I recon it is weighing in at about 2 kilo's and heading for a lot more. the reason I didn't mention it sooner is to wait and see if they continued packing to such a high standard throughout the build. k.

I can confirm that its weight is over 10kgs, and just wait until you see the wooden display base/roling road, which is a masterpiece of engineering and fantastic quality..
With a bit of luck, the C62 will end up here too..
