Fancied this as soon as it was announced, as I'm from Balham and travelled lots on this class as a nipper with my mum. I Watched the terrific review by the ex LT motorman Brian, and thought I'll look out for a set. On Wednesday Kernow were showing 8 sets. By Saturday it was 2 sets!! So I pulled the trigger on a set which arrived safely today.
Absolutely chuffed with something I can relate to from childhood in south London..! Kernow now out of stock, only Malcs Models are showing any stock as of today!!
I guess you can say these are mighty sought after models even if the price 'appears' high!! I can see these selling up to £500 a set next month!!
I do intend to fit DCC sound and working driving lamps using bi-colour leds. Also paint the cabs in the correct Cerulean Blue and add a driver and populate the cars.
