Fen End Pit - Slater's Simplex

I decided to treat myself to a little project, working on the grounds that you can never have too many Simplexes!
I particularly appreciated Slater's choice of packaging, though I suspect some other members of the family might have enjoyed the original contents more.
Inside, surrounded by copious quantities of bubble wrap was a fine looking box.
Inspection of the parts make this look like an interesting project. The 16 page instruction book looks very well produced and the quality of the moldings, in resin, plastic and brass appears initially to be very good. The kit comes complete with wheels and motor and delrin chain drive to make it go. I need to think about whether I'm going to try and get a second mini-motor to drive the fan separately!
I'm intending to use the kit as an encouragement to draw up some 'bits of simplex' for growing Fen End Pit scrap siding, I think having a redundant Dorman engine for example would look tempting.
Stay tuned!
