0 WRENNEIRE Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 To the best of my knowledge they are the same kits The difference in price has to do with paint and wheels I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scahalane Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks for the reply's guys, I just bought the DC kits one, so we'll wait and see, I'll let you know when it arrives how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 waffles Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi the 31xx gen kits are one of the same kit, dc kits are now concentrating manufacturing there own kits rather than distributing some other manufactures kits the dutch vans are not the same at all and are made by company by individually dc using brass floor and white metal bogie frames, silverfox uses plastic sheet floor resin bogie side on abs frames both use resin .both kits are easy to make and are made well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 josefstadt Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 In the picture BosKonay's post above (#2) the Dutch Vans by DC and Silverfox are indeed of two different prototypes. The Silverfox kit is of the original Dundalk Engineering Works 1969-built 'Dutch'vans (3157-66), which were used on vacuum braked trains. The DC Kits version is of the Inchicore Works 1991 modified version (4601-03) which were used with the MkII air-braked stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-1 scahalane Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 These are the kits I'm referring to, although the image on the Dc kits site is very small it looks similar! Here's a link to their site: http://www.dckits-devideos.co.uk/shop/kits_modelling/irish_railways_inc_murphy_models_rtr_kits_transfers/irish_rail_cie_mk1_steam_generator_van_kit.php DC kits version £30 Silverfox version £43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
