    Hi all, was wondering if high level kits horn blocks & CSB system are suitable for Australian (NSWGR) outline DJH kits in HO scale? (ARkits, etc)

    If so, is the standard 1/8in bore and "standard hornblock" suitable for all but the gearbox/motor connected drivers?

    I have some kits for the AD60, D55, D59 to be built sometime next year so I am thinking of placing a order and having a friend in the UK bring them back to me.

    I've not built a DJH kit chassis yet and have been reading various resources on building chassis's and how they should have some suspension for good running characteristics.

    My understand is that all of the kits mentioned are not sprung at all. So adding some should improve the running characteristics.

    I also have some ezi kits white metal locos and I am tempted to attempt scratch building a chassis for one of them next year as those are very rigid with machined brass chassis.
