I figured I'd show off my next build here on the forum. I purchased this kit from Reynauld's for $15.00 US, which really isn't out of touch with kits of similar style. I was surprised when I opened that it wasn't injected plastic but resin and photo etched brass. It gave me a little appreciation for the price of the built ups when I saw the detail in the photo etch.

The resin parts are molded fairly clean

The photo etch sheet and clear acetate.

The directions sheet is similar to most model kits

This build won't be super-fast as I'm using it as filler work for other projects on the bench. I just wanted to show off another alternative to the loss of Jordan's

Pretty cool.

Are these coming directly from England or is there a US supplier?

Thanx

Did you ever notice how many towns are named after their water towers ! ?

Bob, Artitec is based in the Netherlands. Reynauld's is I think in the Chicago area and deals in European trains. I also bought some built ups from MB Klein in Baltimore.

Keep It Rusty

A couple weeks ago I was looking at these and left curious about their build quality. Looks like you are answering that for me.

Very cool.

A little while back, I ordered a few of the Artitec kits as well, including the Omnibus.  It seems that they are backordered a bit, but I am really looking forward to the Omnibus.


Can't wait to see Master Raymo in action on this one.

Thanks everyone for showing interest in this build. I've been poking around with this kit a couple minutes at a time, usually when I'm home at lunch. So I started with removing the sprues on the bottom of the fenders which I marked with black marker.
