Ace Products 7mm Maunsell Q Class 0-6-0 Locomotive Kit

[Davey]

I'm looking for guidance, from anyone that has built one of the kits indicated in the thread title. I know from various comments I have read, on some of the Ace Products kits, that their accuracy and ease of build can be quite variable, to say the least. However, I have heard favourable comments of some of the kits in the range. I also understand that the Maunsell Q class was formerly a DJB kit, which it seems had a fairly good reputation.

As I am contemplating purchasing a Q class from Ace Products, I would be extremely grateful for any input from anyone who has built such a kit, and also whether anyone can confirm that the Ace kit has it's origins with DJB.

Many thanks, in advance for your help and guidance in this matter.

Hi Davey

I purchased a 7mm DJB Q Class kit from Ace Products about a year and a half ago it looked a bit involved to me as it had quite a lot of parts as I have only built a 0-4-0t loco so far so a builder called Nick Dunhill has the kit to build for me in about two months from now I have had him build locos for me before my two LSWR/SR O2s are on his Flikr pages they were painted by Warren Haywood I will get feed back from him after he has had a look/started the kit and let you know if this helps.

 

Regards,

 

Paul.
