Hi Guys
I've just purchased a kit but was wondering if anyone had ever purchased one and how good was it

Thanks

The prototype looks like something Hobby (Blair) might have a model. I've not bought from the maker but maybe it is the same one as Brian bought his Wickham armoured loco as I see one by the same seller. If the photos are accurate they look like neat crisp 3D prints. I also think I recognise the sea mine charity collection box from the Isle of Stoner so other modellers appear to be buying from the seller.
Let us know what you think when it arrives!

Hi Graeme
Thanks for your response yes Brian has said he was happy with it via my Facebook post it seems they are getting good reports all i need now and a chassie and I need to be brave and have a go at chipping a kato chassie
Thanks

Hi Guys
I've now got the kato 11-109 chassie for this and am now looking forward to getting the locomotive completed painted it altogether I have 2 kits and one chassie I'm not sure what to do with the 2nd one as yet it might be a good item to be displayed at a show to let people see what kits are available although it's just an idea at the moment
Thanks
Alan

That sounds like a good short term plan but I would not let it prevent me from getting a second chassis as soon as I could to make another loco! If it is still unmade by the time Model Rail Scotland comes around bring it along, but if not I'm sure someone will have an unpainted 3D printed kit if it is painted.

Hi Graeme
My thoughts are that the kit will be left alone until after model rail Scotland and one I'm hoping to have nearly completed by then that way I've got plenty of time to decide what to do with the 2nd kit also if there's a layout available on the stand then it will give something different to run on the layout to give some variety it will be interesting to hear what is planned for the show in the next couple of zoom meetings
Thanks
Alan
