royaloak Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Very nice to see Interesting that they unboxed so many of them for the photograph. They didnt unbox them, that is how they come, its their 'package clever' idea based on the Emperors new clothes scenario, it saves £3.50 a model!

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted October 27, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2016 Only £3:50 ? Tell that to some of the clowns on Ebay trying to get 15 quid for empty loco boxes ! I've seen pre-war Hornby Dublo empty boxes sold at (live) auctions for significantly more than we currently pay for boxes containing new locos.

Torn-on-the-platform Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I wasn't expecting these so soon! They're looking rather lovely from a distance. The price may be a little difficult to take but I never thought I'd see one of these made in RTR. I just need to decide if the Wray Valley Railway (Moretonhampstead) would have been visited regularly by the SDR's roving 1369 or whether they would have managed to preserve one of their own! Leaning towards the former as, as far as I'm aware, they had no association with the line in active service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't justify the cost even with discount when I have this sitting in the "todo" cupboard. I will have more pleasure out of build the kit than just taking a RTR out of the box. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearwater Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't have one of those in the cupboard. I hadn't planned on even thinking about these them I found a picture of 1369 in Stourbridge shed presumably on its way back from Stafford Road. Story goes the shed liked it so they kept it for a few weeks! Relevance is I ultimately intend to have something West Midlands based... I'll wait for the reviews and see what it's actually being sold for. If I owned a djh kit, I'd stick with that David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WP_20161028_11_34_28_Pro.jpg Given the untimely death of Roger Slade, I wonder if his CSP "1366" etched brass kit which was virtually ready for release last year will now be available from his successor Iain Young? The projected price was £95. Edited October 28, 2016 by Horsetan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
