Re: 7/8ths diesel kits
Got the photos, just figuring out how to post. What is the max file size for the forum's gallery, I'm sure there is a thread but I probably cant see for looking !
Edit: just found it, currently resizing.

Re: 7/8ths diesel kits
195x80x160
This is as far as I got with it before something else got in the way. The frames are assembled as is the cab, the roof is still loose. Bonnet has the larger sections soldered together though I think there is some detail to add. The chassis is IP's MDF kit, I planned to replace with something metal. As it currently stands the loco is 195mm long 80mm wide and 160mm tall. The rest of the kist is also shown, instructions are still in the drawer.
