Simon Curnock Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 So I’m thinking about dipping my toe into easybuild kits as a way of building a less expensive rake of MK1 coaches and am being put off by people who all speak of the same issue being that of the gap you get between the end of the coach and the roof. See attached photo which I found from someone else having the same issue. Has anyone had much experience with these? Any tips on how to avoid this issue? Thanks Si 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike hughes Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yes i’ve had the same issue (building some as a commission), put plastic strip on the ends then had file it to fit Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirey33 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'd be interested to know if it's the roof that is the wrong shape or the vestibule ends that cause the issue? By adding in a strip of material to effectively plug the gap, you modify the shape of the whole roof? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 Looks like the end is the problem. It does not match the profile of the sides either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted March 3, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2021 The price difference between the kits and the rtr versions by Ellis Clark Trains or the upcoming Dapol versions, is so small I wouldn't bother with the kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
