September's Hornby Magazine sees a first for my Parker's Guide column - a proper 2 part article. The reason is that the subject is a locomotive kit, Deans Sidings resin bodied Killin Pug.What's clever (well I think so anyway) is that at the end of each article I finish with a complete model. Part one shows building the basic kit onto the intended Hornby 0-4-0 chassis. In part 2 I get a lot more finescale.
The kit itself is lovely. You get a top quality resin body with some well cast whitemetal bits. I reckon 5 hours would take you from kit to finished loco. Add in about 10 minutes for spraying black and a bit more for transfers. Hardly a huge job by any ones standards. Hugely satisfying too.
