Title: New Build
Post by: Chris Plume on March 07, 2021, 11:12
I would like to get the brass model of the tram kit from tramfabrik built for me.
My soldering skills would not be good enough to do justice to this model and I don't have the necessary equipment.
Any recommendations please ?

Here are a couple of modellers who take on narrow gauge commissions, though I don't know if they do what you want.

David Bickerton:

James Hilton:

I've admired work from both, but never used their services. Also I should add this is purely my own opinion and not a Society endorsement!

Some Tramfabriek models appear to be (or were) available in RTR form.

Why not contact Sven van der Hart to discuss the matter?

I would like to add that the £195 that Sven charges for building and painting these kits to a very high standard is in my opinion good value for the time and work involved.
