South Eastern Finecast Turntable

I’m thinking about using one for the basis of my Ilfracombe style layout. Can anybody share any experiences please?

Hi,

 

I used one of their shorter length kits for my layout Halifax Powell Street.

 

It was a little fiddly in places but I like it overall. It’s fits my small MPD much better than a 70ft one.

 

The details can be found on page 7:

 

 

I reference a Ratio kit for detailing and additional parts, I meant the classic Dapol ex Kitmaster kit.

 

Regards,

Pete

 For absolute clarity, the original branding was Airfix, then Dapol - who now use the Kitmaster branding for some products.

 

If buying any ex-Airfix kits it is well worth sourcing, via Ebay, the original Airfix branded versions; the mouldings are MUCH sharper and the plastic is MUCH more rigid than the current Dapol / Kitmaster production.

Ah, so are you hinting that my little stockpile of such kits might, after many years, have a resale value

They certainly do - they command a modest premium over the price of new Dapol kits; (and rightly so).
