Horsetan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Well, quite. Nice kit, by the way... It'd be nicer if some crucial bits weren't missing. A replacement fret from Brassmasters will be at least £20.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the kit in general, Horse, not this particular offering I see that it went for GBP73.90, including postage. Amazing. *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted August 16, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not madness, but lovely on first sight but then reading "museum quality", personally l don't think so. Like them nonetheless but maybe a tad overpriced. I would like a better paint job. A couple also have the roof coming away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A really nice example of the K's 40' Dean luggage van for example. It is a pity some of the transfers have been put on skew. The 1920s livery would be just right for my long projected GWR layout, but the price is way out of Grifone range.... Would a 'Dreadnaught have had 'fish belly ' bogies? I suppose it could have been rebogied. On a pedantic note, the buffers should be elliptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
