    Jinty kit ( as new ) with wheels and gears but no motor.
    a bargain at around £10.00 cheaper than the kit price. ...... wheels and gears for nothing. Sounds ok to me.
    Pictures when it arrives.
    cheers

    Arrived today.

    Very pleased with it. Looks as if it's never been touched. I'll need to check all parts are there but I'm sure at first glimpse that they are.

    It'll be interesting how this one compares to the Gladiator offering.

    Cheers

    I'll get some up tomorrow night. SWMBO is at her dancing classes. And ........ It's her birthday.

    That's why I got a Jinty ....... Makes perfect sense to me ..... :avatar:

    Reading the various threads that you have started you are getting quite a varied collection from all the different regions and industrials too.
    What are you modelling a preserved line?

    Nahhhhh ........ It's a run what you like line :avatar: I may try and keep things a bit believable at exhibitions ( whatever believable is ) but otherwise ...... If I like it ....... I have it.

    I appreciate those who run a tight ship But I am in it for the fun and variation.
