Expressions of interest are sought for a small batch run of 4mm British Rail class 08 kits to be made available at the beginning of
2011.
We produced many hundreds of these kits in our early days and over the last year we have been asked repeatedly about the
continued availability of this kit and others from our early 4mm diesel models.
So for those of you that still enjoy the pleasure of
making things for yourself we have decided depending on response to re-run a small batch of 08 kits.
We have made some improvements to the chassis in the form of beam compensation and it will have a new high reduction gearbox from Highlevel to suit.
We have also
removed the etched chevrons from the cab and nose end etchings. The kit provides for plate or pressed motor access doors and wooden
or steel cab doors.
The body will be pre-formed as before and include outside throws suitable for 1/8 axles but will not include wheels
or motor (Mashima 1628).
It is important therefore if you would like one of these kits that you make yourself known to us otherwise
we will not continue with the project. Anyone who is interested should get in touch either by email or telephone to reserve a kit
as the intention is for a small run only.
