Q Kits 10000 and 10201

[LNWR lives on]

Hi Guys

 

I have found in my collection of unmade kits these two Q kits pictured below which were picked up at an exhibition several years ago. The bodies and instructions appear to be there as well as the bogie side frames and thats about it. I think from reading the instructions there are parts missing

 

Does anyone know how easy these are to make up to a good standard model, what work is required and how easy it is to source a suitable chassis. If i decide they are too much work I think I may sell them although what there value (if any) is I have no idea

 

Thank you in advance

These are the earlier fibreglass version. I had a later brass/whitemetal 10000, which was frankly awful and never got finished. There was a built up fibreglass 10201 in the MRJ a while back which looked OK.

All I can say is...... good luck!.....If you decide to build one.

 

I would wait for the Bachmann 10000 and buy a Silver Fox 10201.

Very much what Americans fondly refer to as Craftsmen kits, it leaves a lot of work to the modeller, not for the faint hearted, but you can get reasonable results with patience and a bit of skill. They mainly covered models that were not available in RTR or even in other kits. Hollywood Foundry could do the power train bogie/bogies etc. to suit the supplied frames.

Thank you for your responses guys

 

I think from the information gathered and close inspection of the instructions these are just going to require too much time that I have not got right now with the youngster approaching his first birthday

 

Onto the RMWEB classifieds they head

 

Cheers guys!!
