I am not really a massive kit builder as my construction skills are limited But i would recommend dapol kits to all modellers they may not be totally accurate but they are fun and easy to build after that I would recommend coopercraft kits as they are simple and include uncommon prototypes including provender wagons I have never really attempted card kits are they any good?

Thanks I have tried two parkside kits one Plate wagon which is too light to b used effectivly on my trackwork and a Python cct which has a knack of derailing everywhere are brass kits and whitemetla kits hard to do as i have never tried

sounds like my buildings

and although it is going off topic Skaledale is possibly the best thing to come from hornby in years hornby deserve a big thumbs up for skaledale

The Skaledale buildings are well worth it they really should have a thread to them as putting iy here is off topic

 

[Ben Manicom]

There is a topic devoted to this Called Imaginativly Skaledale can we use that as we are going off topic

Is the cambrian kit easy to build? or would I struggle as I need one for my 1980s British railway to run on a ballast train
