Pretty sure that Parkwood models did a resin cast body for this beast that fitted on a German chassis of some description.

Parkwood models? Now there's a company that have no right to be in business. What kind of idiots only sell through a society that charges membership ?? That's like paying to go into Tescos !! Bloody ridiculous!!!    Long Live Mr Meldrew

No it's not. It like shopping at Costco where you have to be a member and pay a fee to get in.  It's quite normal for society's and clubs to charge a memebership fee. If you want to go in just pay the memebership subs. Once you've paid, you get the benefits - so why not quit the whingeing and join? You can get more in return in savings than the subscription fee.

Parkwood gave up their N kit range and it's only being made available thanks to the efforts of the N gauge Society. There are others that only provide through the NGS like the N modelaster range. They are not idiots but it obviously fits with their business model and plan.
