That really is a superb model.

Must add to the list of projects......might get it started in 2012!

Very nice Doug!


Could use a touch of dieselly grime on those exhaust stacks though.

Brilliant Doug,
 
I took a look at the links but could not find the price for the basic kit ?

If you click on the kit number (DG292) on the webpage, it takes you through to the pricelist with the kit highlighted.
 
Not the most obvious way of doing it, but their website is a bit unusual!

Awsome............great pics too.
Love to know how many man hours went into this project?
 Your build quality is superb.
 With so much fettling did you feel you got good value out of the kit, or did you feel you could have scratch built just as easy??

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

The only bits of the kit that i didn't use were the side frames - because i used a different motor block; the buffer beams - because i wanted a different style; the main part of the air tanks - easier to use brass tube rather than glue and fill the four peices of white metal and finally the door handles.
 
Everything else was an addition.
 
If i hadn't bought the kit I would have had to work out the sizes of everything. It also includes quite a few parts that aren't sold seperately (i know, i asked!). So overall the kit was worth getting as i used most of it. No idea how many man-hours went into it, i expect you could build it in a couple of weeks if you weren't such a perfectionist as myself. I still have to fit out the cabs...
