Gilmaur U-boat kit...no trucks or sideframes or gearboxes or motors.

Is that etched brass?

Can't imagine trying to solder that and keep the solder out of the etched details...

I wish I had the resistance soldiering skills to take one of these on. Yeah thin etched brass that requires some internal cross bracing to boot.
I especially like the Gilmaur SW-1500 kit too.

Those kits generally sell quite well. I suspect that what's holding this one back is a lack of surety on completeness.

FYI, 108spoplar is reselling many of the items that bought at the December 10 Stout Auction of Stephen Neill's collection. Stout sold a Pair Of Gilmaur O Scale Two Rail Brass Pair Of U33C / U36C Diesel Locomotive Kits for $180, *plus* buyer's premium, taxes and shipping. I just don't see how 108spoplar will be making any money by reselling one of them for $99.

Stout sold one of those (Gilmaur O Scale Brass SW1500 Switcher Kit) for $325, *plus* buyer's premium, taxes and shipping.

Hard to understand what goes on in the minds of some sellers, and all too frequently not worth the effort necessary either.
