    Wow, you aren't messing about in collecting them are you? You will soon have a stash to rival mine - I have upwards of 30 loco kit's stacked away.

    Not quite at 30 but add the wagons and coaches and I'll not be far off.
    these will be under winter projects although I may get one started off soon.
    cheers

    I think the traverser will need beefing even more, not just the motors, Irn bru bread and Girrrrrders

    have the wheels fell off the wagon (I know you fell off the wagon years ago :avatar:) http://www.click

    Nice solid looking kit
