9 forum posts	Hi there A few questions: 1)I have been offered a complete kit that has the chassis partly (running) assembled, but nother else pot together.. Does anyone know what a fair price would be? 2) What if any, are the problems. I have heard there are some issues, but these can be sorted out if you have a workshop. 3) Are there any articles in magazines? Regards Adrian

That is not to say that it may be a good one but having had dealings in the past with a few winson kits most of which have been runners.These were sold as put it together with a screwdriver on the kitchen table.No they weren't valves,pistons cylinders needed work,the bodywork left a lot to be desired too! As they say buyer beware. Mark P

9 forum posts	Hi Mark Thanks for you response. From the feedback I have received, I don't think I will proceed unless I could get it for a very low price and even them I would have a boiler test before parting with any cash. Regards Adrian
