An update on the WT as promised.  I have a very limited number as getting a hold of the required Peco underframes in bulk from the importers has been hard and as a result ONLY 40 have been produced.

Price for the kit which includes a brass etch, Peco underframe, parts, decals and instructions etc is $33.00 or $40.00 with 1 pair of brown ready assembled Microtrains couplers.

Well a month has past since my last entry but there is good news afoot.  The castings for the WT have been done, big hip hip hooray!  I gave up doing them with the precious little spare time I was getting and sent them off to Peter to cast.

The only thing I have to do now is bag them up and change the postal address on the instructions I had printed over a year ago. Oh well, at least they are closer now.  Prices are still yet to be worked out but I should be able to give an update next week.

A new product but not a major release just something to help past kits that may be languishing in the model draw. VLX/VLCX dressup kit for Fybren models /Union Mills kit.

Over the years a number of  modellers have bought these kits. Some assembled them others are still waiting to be built.  I didn't practically like my ones anymore as they were running around and looked to high against my more recent items I had built.  Also I didn't relish that fact that having to scrape all the inside down to accommodate various floor ideas that people had or done or suggested, it just left me cold as I didn't have the much time available.  So I set about creating a simple to assemble / slot in replacement floor that allowed the van to sit prototypically lower and could be done by a novice easily as the previously ways were way too hard and cumbersome.
