As I think I mentioned a week or so ago, I had noticed that some Just Like The Real Thing's Mark 1 coach kits were no longer available. I was able to buy one of the last, a TK or Corridor Third, complete with etched BR1 bogies. But don't be overly concerned if you need one, there will be more available in a year's time with upgraded castings, etc.

I opened the box to check the contents and all seems to be well. The parcel arrived in perfect condition (I think France's La Poste gives an excellent service at this end) and nothing was broken or missing. I called Laurie at JLTRT to thank him and also asked if there might be a Brake Corridor Third available. He is looking into it.

This kit is going to be quite different from the Sidelines range in that there is a lot less brass used and Roket CA adhesive will be the main building medium rather than solder. I am looking forward to starting on the kit but there are other models already in the queue that must be finished first. All reports on the progress with this model will eventually be under the Category "Corridor Third Coach".
