Hello, I am someone else who has next to no experience building a metal kit and is wondering how easy it would be to build a JE kit. My interest is in electric trains, such as the NER BO-BO loco 265000 and the LMS & LOR Liverpool / Merseyside EMU's. If they had been available I'd also have been interested in the LNER Tyneside and Woodhead / Shenfield EMU's. I have actually tried one of the Tyneside units as 3D printed by Shapeways but am not happy with them because the train sides are supposed to be smooth whilst the 3D versions are pitted / need an inordinate amount of sanding (with wet & dry) to achieve a smooth finish.
