    Next Release: Gresley 32’ Milk van in 10mm.

    21st January. I am now working on the kit again and I hope to have more positive news in early February. One of the delays was the resin supplier I had used sent me a batch of out of date stock which caused no end of problems working out why the resin wouldn’t cure. I’m not going to name and shame them but I will instead highly recommend http://www.notcutt.co.uk/contact.html  .

    Will the van be available in 1/32 scale?

    There’s been a lot of interest in the kit being made available in 1/32. Providing the 10mm version generates at least 20 sales then I will be able to consider both this kit and the pigeon van as future developments in 1/32.

    Price: The guide price I’ve been quoting of £150 is looking overly optimistic. Adding up the cost of components I’m now looking at about £170. The cost will include:

    Royal Mail special delivery, 22 thou brass kit,  Sprung buffers, brass vac pipes, 3 link couplings, Torpedo vents, vacuum cylinder, dynamo, sprung axle boxes, wheels & bearings. The components will be a mix of 3rd party supplied, Nylon computer printed and resin moulded.

    an example of the computer printed work can be seen at Shapeways. The

    The first production run will be for 6 vehicles unless there is demand for more. If you want to reserve one of the first vehicles, please click the £5 registration button above. This will be fully refundable if you change your mind before I order the brass. I will ask for a further £45 deposit at that stage - sorry but compared to the cost of scale drawings this kit is a major up front cost and future production runs will take at least 3 weeks after the last batch sells out.

one word - excellent. Apart from working out the sliding door (lock) handles - now resolved- the kit almost built itself.
