This is the first I have seen of Rail-Roadmodels. The Wickham looks interesting. Has anyone tried the kits, if so what are they like?.

They are very cheap but just be aware that these kits are made of card.

I've had a lot of fun building a "Tiny" kit for a friend - a good deal of care and attention when cutting the edges is required to get a neat finish and reinforcing the edges helps. Its a gentle relaxing way of modelling which isn't used as much these days but, as you can see, is cheap and effective. The lining sheets also work well indeed and are a cost affective alternative to lining services.

Hello there...

I've been producing these kits for over 10 years - originally called Locolines.
I only changed my name as there are about 4-5 people calling themselves Locolines now.

The website gives all the info needed - but these kits are more than just 'card' which someone has advised.

They are high quality and pretty substantial gloss faced architects board - around 2mm thick. All full colour and with a good level of detail.

I've had numerous reviews in Garden Rail and 16mmngm magazine.
All extremely positive.

Yes, you can buy kits that are laser cut wood, resin, plastic etc - but at a far higher price.

The aim of my products is to be an inexpensive way into what can be a very expensive hobby.
Where else will you get a complete kit of a railcar for less than £40?
Above all, it's a nice, old fashioned approach, as someone rightly pointed out.

Give it a look.

Roy.

Looks a nice kit Roy. I think I may have to order one and some lining transfers as a little early Christmas pressie to myself.

Do you have any pics of the Sentinal kit built up?

[roymattblack]

No - no pics of a built Sentinel - sorry.

It's very similar to the Wickham, but has filled in sides.

If you do order one, send me some pics of your built one, and I could add them to my web page.

All the best, Roy.

I've just ordered the Wickham kit as a self inflicted BD present. Hope there is enough space to try out fitting R/C.
