I just did some basic calculations on the BR52 locomotive, and assuming that my sources are correct we end up with a kit that is:

* 676mm (26.6 in) long
* 167mm (6.6 in) high
* 89.6 mm (3.5 in) wide.

Adding to this the Karl at 840mm you'll need at total of 1516mm (59.7in) of shelf space - nearly 5 feet of contiguous clear shelf!

I think for the first time, I'll have to shelve my ambition and be content showing them on separate shelves.

Howdy MadMeex,

Many thx for the heads up on this one. Finally, a 1/35th scale locomotive in plastic! Been waitin' for this one for a looooooong time. Just hope they keep the price within reason.

I went looking for a pic of this kit and could only find this Trumpeter drawing.......
