Good Evening fellow Modelers.
As a new memebr who only signed up today this is my first thread.
I am Jack Girling. ( The No.1 son of sulzer )
As a new memebr who only signed up today this is my first thread. I am told that I should start with a intro so here goes......................
I am a 18yr old with a very keen railway enthusiast who really enjoys recreating the golden bygone age of railways. My interest lies in the 1930's through to the early 1980's. My keenest interest lies in the British Railways days of 1948-1968.
Both me and my dad have a very extensive and always growing collection of O gauge rolling stock. - The finest Loco being a very fine O gauge Br Maroon Duchess 46244 King George Vi. But I may be a little biased as My dearly missed Gran Parents bough it for me. Plus I am sure that Sulzer will try to convince you that a Gresley A4 is a finer loco
I am proficent in simple rolling stock kits such as many Parkside, Slaters and JLRT wagons . I am currently building a LMS 20ton breakvan. This will be finished as a unfitted item of stock in BR Grey. So far this is going very well and I am pleased to say that the handrails are finished- the handrails always seem to be the hardest part. look out for pictures to follow.
I have finished 2 years of education at Brockenhurst college. I studied a BTEC level 3 in engineering. I passed these 2 years with a triple distinction grade
. I have now obtained a Apprenticeship with a well known aviation company.
any way back to topic. I am writing this to ask if any other modelers have had any experience of the latest variation of the JLRT presflo kit. I understand that it is of resin construction and requires no more skills than a standard slaters/ parkside kit.
I would like to note I have done other JLRT kits so I know roughly what to expect in terms of high part quality.
So has anyone got experience with this costly kit. I expect it to go together like lego for the price of the kit.
Me and my dad Sulzer (bryan) are already the prowd owner of a very fine M&M model brass presflo. This is a extremly fine model but require very good soldering skills due to the brass construction. This means that at this time I would not be able to construct another one.
Anyway any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Please see atached picture of the M&M preslo in Blue Circle Cement livery.
as I am sure you can see this is a exquisite model and really adds color to a railway. It would be so nice for this to have a partner to run with hence the JLRT enquirery.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Anyway Please look out for my posts.
I also have a YouTube Channel containing videos of a fraction of our Stock. here is the link.http://www.youtube.com/user/jbgirling/videos please check this link out and pass it on to anyone else you feel may be intersted.
