That's a stunner Barry and a subject that's been begging to be modelled for years. Although it's in a slightly smaller scale I bet it would look great towing the Airfix HP 0/400 around.

I started to scratch build one in my teens (that was an awfully long time ago) but couldn't work out how to do the tracks back then. I'm so pleased there's finally a kit of it... and a beautiful one that does justice to it at that!

Thanks for the positive vibes !!!!

I have had the masters for a long time,about 4 years.At last found a caster that could do it.As you know about the evil arts (!!!) the track section is cast in one piece.Don't ask me how he did it !!!!
