Nope, as with most conversion kits you build it up by buying different parts. I've only gone for the basic (cabs/buffet sides) and then added other details that the kit doesn't include anyway in, but there are about 4 other bits you can buy, for example bogies, of course pushing the price up...

Well my grandad gave the TC the thumbs up lol, he liked it, just waiting for the cab ends now!

Got another projec to do as well, KettleFan has just built an underground layout and i offered to build him a K Class and do him an LT pannier!

well I think you've used the term "built" a little bit too liberally there, its not even capable of reduced operation at the moment!

because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for it, and I already have a GWR Pannier thats ripe for repainting. After all, I have a three car Q23 rake to pay for.

and the layout......haven't made the fiddle yard yet!

ah yes well that doesn't require such a steady hand! I do hope your not thinking of Stephens 9F, that was not one of my better jobs.

this is one of my favourite ones, it looks a lot better when not taken with flash photography. I still prefer my J72 though.
