hayfield Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have been looking for a second 7 mm loco on Ebay and looking for one with finescale wheels to use with my Ixion Hudswell Clarke loco. Ideally was looking for another 0-6-0 loco ready built but items that have come up on Ebay either coarse scale wheels. did not like or just for me over priced. I have just come across Prototype Replica Model Railway Products and not knowing them was wondering about their locos. The 02 looks quite sweet and I have a soft spot for the class 14. I understand that they main parts come pre-curved, I am quite handy with the soldering iron, though not built too many etched kits. Other problem is that I am a bit short for time. Please can anyone enlighten me about these kits, are they time consuming to build? or difficult What extra parts do I need for either the 02 or 14. I know they need wheels, presumably Slaters? what about motor and gears. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-UnitMad Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi John I found this the other day, i think it is the PRMRP Class 14 - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/2687-o-scale-class-14-kit/ Kind Regards Ian It is, & still unfinished... You need wheels/gears/motor as per most kits, plus wheel & connecting rod bearings. The parts come flat - not pre-curved. I don't consider it to be that good a kit, certainly not a 'beginner' kit.

hayfield Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 They now state that the body parts are formed with the body folded/rolled into a basic shape where appropriate (flat packs are now only available on request), Would that change your view as to complexity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Not really. Getting the chassis built properly is the main hurdle. I eventually paid someone experienced to do a better one for me. After all, it doesn't matter how good a loco looks - if it runs like a bag of spanners it's not fit for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
