I recently got myself a job fresh out of Uni here in the UK, and I think I'll treat myself to one of these kits.

Hello Norton You will love the build, with Connoisseur one word springs to mind above all others. "Satisfaction" If you do buy one mention my videos to Jim, he has the link on his website and I'm trying to show him he needs a bit of either a KZfaq and Facebook presence.

@@Steven_Rowe Thank you for the reply Steven. I’ve actually built a J68 of his and started a video series here on You Tube of the build. Being my first ever brass kit and a loco kit I have enjoyed it massively and have got a craving to do more!

I have done a full build of the J15 and the starter kit and they are on channel I also built the J50 All were so enjoyable. I have the N7 but that was built, Jim stopped production Well the N7 was repainted and I put in an ABC Maxon Minibox

I really want to get started in the world of o gauge, but have never made up a kit before and am terrified of the thought. Short of buying a ready built loco to start, how do you go about it all, at the risk of sounding thick.

Start with something simple? Can you solder?? The best kits as far as simplicity and instructions are concerned are Connoisseur. Suggest you join the O gauge model railway page on Facebook.

Unfortunately Jim has withdrawn the J50 kit back end of last year. Something to do with the man in a bowler hat.

@@tulyar1043 hold one Jim doesn't charge vat also why would some boring vat man make him withdraw a kit. Think I'm going to have a word with Jim I think he gives them a break for a while.the HI was withdrawn as some of the casting moulds need replacing. I think it would sell and Jim did indicate he may bring it back.

@@Steven_Rowe It is to do with his business plan. If his turnover for the year is under a certain amount he doesn't pay VAT. That is why when a new loco kit is launched, an older one is withdrawn. Hence his turnover stays below the VAT threshold.
