I thought that I might be able to Anglicise this, time will tell.
Here is a picture of the box artwork and the contents of the box.
Lots of sprues and bits and pieces.

Is this going to become a furnicular ( no idea how to spell it) railway up and down the cliffs?

Oooh!!
Now you've done it.
Planted another seed in ZaK's mind.
Now for the 'Up's' and Down's' of modelling.

I hope my next is always better

Many thanks Tony (aka Haddock), the large aluminium plate was useful for keeping everything level.
One of your blocks on top as well.
See, you do come in useful.

I like miniart kits maybe over engineered but nice, this one looks to have a really nice base.

Yes, nice kits, but as you say perhaps a bit of over engineering.
Here is the motor bogie and it test fitted to the chassis.

Looks like a lot of complex detail. Excellent.

Painting and masking as I build.
I am leaving things in sections and will see how the assembly goes, everything can be removed.
The seats, the chassis and the bogies are not glued together yet.
