  To wet your appetite with details of my next kit that is curently under development. Queen Marry Brake van with alternativ parts to cover operating period from Southern Railways to 21st Century with EWS etc.
  Progress on November 22nd 2011 was full production tooling for etchings completed and production casting moulds made. The next step is to produce the instructions.
  The instructions will require a lot of time as there are a lot of parts in the kit so I have no idea of an expected availability date for the kit. But it feels very good to be doing some creative development work again. More Information
