Good news for those waiting for the old MailCoach version to reappear...

Good morning all from sunny Surrey

That's good news, as the Mailcoach set fetches high prices on a certain auction site..

It will probably be easier to paint than the clear sides of the Mailcoach set

I hope it will be available with or without the observation car, to enable the West Riding set to be constructed.

Hope the observation car might be available separately.....

I have asked the owner to let m know when the kits are available. When I hear anything I will post on here. The list he has sent me , doesn't give a price or other options re buying single items. I suggest you contact him.

As to Mailcoach, horrid kits with equably bad mouldings and a nightmare to paint !!! . IMHO.

That's probably why they're such hot property. People like the misery.

Trying again with the mailcoach kits at the moment. They are a pain alright. While I am determined to get a decent result I don't think re-issuing these kits would be worthwhile today. I managed to get them fairly cheap but was quite lucky.
