"I have only recently returned to railway modelling after an absence of pushing 50 years during which time 5” gauge live steam was the order of the day! "

"As a sort of test, I chose your kit to see if I could make anything that small/fiddly and was really pleasantly surprised to find that despite shaking hands and eyesight not being what it was, I could, albeit with some modifications to your design. "

"I didn’t get on too well with the windows but overcame that by using my Cricut machine and self-adhesive vinyl. Also used it to cut the balustrades, brackets, and stairs but wasn’t happy with the later so modified a set I had in my scrap box. Photo shows I still have painting the stairs and guttering to install, along with some touching up and weathering. "
