Well there’s a nice addition to my christmas list, Being an EM modeller I occasionally build the odd chassis so the hobby holidays and avonside is more money than I’d want to invest, this looks just the job!

I quite agree that cost is an important factor along with frequency of use.

 

A feature I like with the Avonside jig is that when I have set up the wheel base using a frame side, I can then assemble the coupling rods first on the jig, followed by fitting the horn guides to the frames.

 

This ensures the rods and the wheel base exactly match.

I've done this on the Hobby Holidays jig as well, Gordon, but I prefer the vertical arrangement of the Avonside one.

 

I did pick up a Poppy's wooden one recently and used it to build my OO 14XX chassis and found it easy to use.

 

I also picked up one of their chimney and dome alignment jigs. Haven't used it yet, but it seems like a rather good idea.
