4mm Scale Products from Connoisseur Models
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2015 2:58 pm
Some of you may recall that I have previously arranged for the production of a limited number of GER kits by Jim McGeown of Connoisseur Models. I was very pleased to receive the message below, regarding some more re-releases from his range. I have no doubt that the quality of them will be just as high as the Y6 tram that I've built, and the Buckjumper that I'm halfway through...
"Special Limited Production of 4mm Scale/00 Gauge Loco Components from Connoisseur Models
Between about 1996 & 2006 I produced a range of 4mm scale products derived from my 7mm scale kits. For a number of reasons I then had to abandon the 4mm products to concentrate on 0 Gauge kit production.
Some of the 4mm tooling is still useable & I have had considerable encouragement from noted 4mm scale modellers to produce some limited production from this tooling.
I now have available LNER Class Y7, 0-4-0 tank loco, Price £40.00, LNER Class J79, 0-6-0 tank loco, Price £40.00 & LNER Class J50, 0-6-0 tank loco, Price £55.00.
The tooling lends itself to the production of about twelve of each loco type at a time & further batches would depend on the state of the tooling & interest. So if modellers want one get it when available to avoid disappointment.
Full details are available on my website, http://www.jimmcgeown.com/4mm%20Scale%2000%20Gauge.html
The locos are available direct & postage free from Connoisseur Models,
1 Newton Cottages, Nr Weobley, Herefordshire, HR4 8QX, Telephone 01544 318263.".
In my opinion, the kits are extremely reasonably priced and excellent models to build. Despite being "shot-down" artwork, they assemble with very few problems and I would certainly recommend them to anyone that was new to the world of building etched kits.
They also seem to be selling fast, so don't hang about!
Cheers
