In search of a Dart

[Elliotts Trains]

Hi there, 

I'm here seeking help or advice for sourcing a model Dart, it is not for a collection, my 6 year old autistic son is a train enthusiast and he loves the Dart, he has asked for one from santy and his old request is that is has a horn sound, I think this may be an impossibility but any help or advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance

@murrayec on here does produce the odd Dart model - and very good ones - but I wonder if the timescale could be an issue for this year?

He'll be along shortly, I'm sure.

Hi Guys

Yes Broithe is correct time is a major problem, but more of a concern is my DARTs are a fine detailed model and would not be suitable for child play and are expensive!

On the other hand- I am developing a timber toy DART, one that runs on a timber track available in toy shops and Lidl (which is in their stores now), this DART would be more suitable for child play, but the problem again is time.

This is where I am at, rolling chassis and currently working out the body curves and pantograph;-
