Another Cravens standard coach.

I bought this one. Not a bargain as such, but cheap compared to an identical one that's being offered for more than double the price....

Thanks - some nice stuff there, not often seen. Gypsum and ballast hoppers, plough vans, fertiliser, spoil and keg bogies. I was hoping there might be some cement bubbles but perhaps that was unrealistic!

 

This is quite a good price for a sound-fitted A class; I was tempted but I have several As already:

This has got @Darius43 written all over it. A grotty 1980s kit for an imaginary diesel loco.

“Superdeltic” eh?  Looks like a cross between a Class 55 and a Western.

In any event it’s a Q Kit so I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.

Cheers

Back in the day I attempted two Q kits, for the A and C class. They were hard work and I was never happy with them, though they did run and look more like the prototype than a Lima class 33!

Keep up the good work with the MTK heavy metal. I now wish I hadn't binned my MTK Irish coach kits; I think they would have been salvageable with my present skills even if I made a mess of them 25 years ago.

BR Class 51 Super Deltic - never built.

Seeing this has got me thinking about that kit…

Cheers

Indeed. I got a "Q" Kits "C" class. It was warped when I got it, and it warped more before I got it properly made up. The only advice I was given was "put it in warm water and straighten it"! No more Q Kits for me!

This from the man who builds Colin Massingham's finest (sic) in record time.
