Don't know when they stopped but I do know a Ratio kit built 4-4-0 MR loco was sold for £150 at an auction (a proper auction not eBay) at the weekend! I took an interest because I sold one for £70 about 6 months ago. The buyer was probably selling mine on!

Why not contact Peco directly?

Happy modelling

Blimey!,-where've you been hiding

Although not as common now,-they're not exactly mega-rare either,they did a MR Johnson 2-4-0 and a 4-4-0 as plastic kits,they were a bit dodgy mechanically,[did the later versions have an etched chassis??] but the tenders [which were available seperately]were handy for bunging behind the likes of 2P's,3F's, and 4F's

Shame that they're not still available..

Ciao Peter,
I'm an italian modeller and I'm going to order the Ratio kit for the GWR short coach, but I have a big question:

which is the difficult?
Are they realistic?
What I'll find in the box?
What I have to be able to do (paint, soldering) ?
Are better the short or the long body?
Let me know any suggestion.
Best regards
Francesco
