Not sure if it should go here or under roling stock, but I think the new swift Sixteen railbus kit is really neat!

Although the prototype is way out of my normal modelling range I've been really taken by the quality of this kit. I am putting out a tentative feeler for weather anyone wants the kit built for them as whilst I'd love to build the kit I don't particularly want the rail car on my railway or have the money to splash out on one.

Sadly, I´m already hard at work. Railcar and trailer, as I couldn´t resist the look that they would have together. With a little luck, I should be able to get lighting in, too.

Lighting will be a doddle - PM me if you need advice!

My plan is also for a railcar and trailer but the online instructions don't seem to have any text. Are the words available elswhere?
By the way don't hold your breath for any photos as I haven't ordered them and I haven't started my tin turtle yet.

Having seen Robs development model throughout the stages, it looks magnificent! It has the same speed and power as his Simplex (which pulled 8 bogie carriages at speed)!
Once again a masterpiece, it's simple to put together as well (as is expected) so you can easily get it up and running quickly😃

Swift Sixteen's stand was one of those that was always very busy when I kept revisiting (that's after I found it as it was not opposite the 'Rhydypenderyn' layout as per the Show Guide, and was hidden behind the catering outlet whilst looking from that layout - my base for the day).

So I only had the chance of a very brief look at this Railcar model but it looks like yet another very sharp & detailed casting from Rob.

Look forward to seeing those being built by the Forum members in due course.
