An up coming release from AnDel is a "Plug and Play" Kit loco. YOu get the choice of a few colours for the body kit, 45mm or 32mm gauge and RC or Manual. All the soldering is ready done. The kit will slightly differ from other AnDel offerings in that some cleaning of flash from the resin castings will be required. Andy is planning other extras to go with the loco to be bought seperately. Looks like a sturdy work horce to me!

There are a few pics on his website

Ooooh I like that a lot, for under a ton as well? I think the CVLR board would welcome something like that.
Will be keeping an eye on this.

Under £100 you say? Very tempting!

I am working very hard to have these kits available at Lincoln and the release date on the website shortly thereafter. Kits are now in stock in the three colours, Green, Blue and Oxide Red, chassis and electrics are progressing as is the instruction writing process.

Price I am hoping to achieve is £95 for the P.W.M. manual speed controlled version. An R/C version is also planned as a kit though at this time I do not know whether I will be able to achieve this as a solder free kit.

Regards, Andy

Very nice, I like the idea of an rc one would this just need a rx fitting buy the owner? The wife is very impressed with the name so it improves my chances even more.

Thats a very nice looking loco Deffinatley one to put down on the hit list
I wonder if Andy is going to make a roof/enclosed cab for one of the accesories? I prefer locos with cabs but thats just me but it not having a cab wouldnt put me off getting one

Well I am hoping to be at Lincoln & a battery diesel is on my shopping list at #3

It's on the website now and I've just ordered one, I really should stop sleep browsing and sleep shopping!

oooo, ones on my list

Take a guess at what I've just ordered. Might make cab for it though.

phew  I thought my internet was playing up AGAIN

and I thought it was down while you were adding a load of new releases Andy (Like the TR "Midlander" and a short version of the W&L Pickerings )

These are all good ideas but I can only do so much, I need to keep on top of the Ffion`s at the moment...

and the website is still down,, though I am hoping that this is temporary and some technician somewhere is going to press a button and hey presto!

Hey presto!

Wondering if you would supply a motorised chassis as a kit with all electrics

The Bawdsey Quarry have purchased their new locomotive and are quite pleased.

Must tell them off for sending a loco out on the line without a driver!!!

that looks great!!, Im hoping to get my grubby hands on one within the next few weeks (and it will be in blue just like yours)

Just to add to the list:





Started as a blue one on the wifes orders as soon as we got home "it should be in red" where the first words she said.

She will eventualy be named "Nancy" after Ffion's Nain that passed away at the begining of March.

That looks good, how did you fit the shoppers? You might also notice that I have altered the positions of the castings to make it look a bit more like my other one. What did you paint it with?

Appologies for going of topic. How's the Merseysider loco getting along?
