Recently i managed to pick a djh 8f kit off ebay for £69.99 including wheels. The kit has already had the chassis started & whoever has made it has done an exceptional job it is straight & true having been tested on some mirrorglass.

I thought rather than start posts for the various models i am making i decided it would be better to transfer it all here.

Now the original idea was to use a cleminson system from brassmasters to make the chassis straight forward but i thought that following the instructions would be better. The kit origins are from d&s models & they are a kit i think are well desig
After a post in the prototype section to see if something could be found small enough to model in P4 as a test bed i am still nowhere closer to finding something. With this in mind i have decided to give up on that for now although i do have a idea.
I want to build something that is no more than 6ft in length that i can put up & play with without to much setting up or take up to much room in the small area i have for a layout. I have to take into account the 12ft x 2ft OO layout that is
