Hello there !
I found HGLW on this forum. These kits look great.
I ordered one flatcar and I built it.
It's very easy for a newbie to make it. Next step, I'm going to build the diesel engine. I also watched this website:

A lot of infos! Before starting, could you give me a few advices: what I must do...or not. Thanks for your help.

top tip but the 4wd chassis..
I built mine in a day painted over 2 days added radio gear as well when i built mine up(I screwed my chassis to the body from underneath so it stays together but easily be undone for any maintanance..
And take you time lining up the worm gear otherwise they wear out very quickly..
mine pulls 8 mamod wagons on the flat with ease..

Another thing that I didn't say before: I use 45mm track and maybe I'm the only one...but it's not very important I guess.
