I read the possibly sad news about the future of the GEM models - and I noticed the request concerning the SDJR 7 F.
It was always my ambition to build that loco - but it will be unfulfilled - despite the fact I have what must be an early GEM 7F body kit from the Rhos-on-Sea address
Needs the GF 1909 chassis ( 8F ) and tender wheels and the box has only been opened and the castings examined probably once in the last 15 year since I emigrated to the US in 2003.
I will be checking out casting quality on the GEM kit -and reporting further in case anyone here expresses interest in the kit.
I have also just found a P & D Marsh GW 43xx body/tender kit that I forgot I had. Made at the Eversholt / Milton Keynes address ? Have checked those castings - they look impeccably clean. Is this kit still available?
