this will be a kit made in a similar vein to Atlantic's kits using 100% resin castings, bodyshell, chassis and all with motor, bearing axles and wheels being sourced by the builder. In fact I've already been in discussions with Atlantic about the matter. However, unlike Atlantic I'll be utilizing the advantages of CAD/CAM and 3D printing technologies, so a preliminary digital model can be made and easily altered if any inaccuracies become apparent before I commit to casting, and another version in a different scale, such as N or O wouldn't be too hard to achieve.
I'm not working alone either, I'll be working with and have been discussing with 7 other people from different countries, namely the UK and US, who share a similar interest in railways and wish to help me on this endeavour, one of whom is a lad called Chris from Washington state, USA who will be undertaking the 3D design work. In addition to kits, we'll also be embracing wider current consumer interests and releasing models as DLC for Simulators like Train Simulator 2017/18 and Train Sim World (as after the research costs are covered DLC sales are 100% profit) through a dedicated website.
I know in the past I've said comments to the effect of "if it looks right then it is", but that was for personal projects only and I can assure you that myself and everyone else involved will do everything in our ability to ensure what we produce is as accurate as possible. So in addition to utilizing Isinglass drawings to the full potential, in the spring/summer of next year I'll taking a "business trip" to York then Shildon to collect as much reference and resource materials on the J27 and some future locomotives (sorry, not telling yet

I think that's enough typing for an initial post, so I'll keep you guys posted as things progress and ask that you keep an open mind over the coming months as well as provide an information you may have, such as any detail differences worth including in the planned kit.
Thank you for your time - Nova
