Actually the kits aren't too bad. They are rated A, B and C in order of accending difficulty. They are all a lot more involved than hake the box kits like bowser but I have never had a problem with them. Don'tgo forthe little south african one as your first more involved one. It is a lot harder as it is nearly all etched brass where as the bigger ones have more cast components which make assembly easier (DO NOT USE HIGH TEMP SOLDER!!!). <br /> <br />The small african one is my next project as soon as i find wheels for it that are closer to scale (i.e. not NEM, more semi-scale RP-25). I am also going to repower it so that there are motors in both ends (they are only powered at one end, although the motor in the big ones are big brutes designed for O scale!) <br /> <br />If you really want one, go for it and if you are worried about the price, you get what yu pay for and they are fantastic fun to make. <br /> <br />Neil
