I was wondering if anyone can help?

At the moment I would like to build a model of a Class 141 railbus (and
possibly a Class 140 too). I know MTK produced a kit of the 141 and from
memory they did a 140 too. The kits are not that great as I built a MTK
BRE/Leyland R3 railbus kit, back in the early 1990s, and after a lot of work
got an acceptable model.

Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain a kit for either?

Or does anyone have one they might wish to sell (unbuilt/part built /built
etc)?

Failing that, does anyone know where a scale drawing of a 141 or 140 could
be obtained from, as anyother way forward is scratchbuilding the bodies to
mount on modified Hornby Class 142 underframes.

Thanks for your time,

Subscribe to and ask your question on the Yahoo Group for diesel & electric
modellers. Surplus items are often available at sensible prices and there
is a wealth of knowledge on diesel prototypes.

The other possibility would be to contact :-
http://www.railcar.co.uk/NNKits.htm
who has taken over the original MTK kits, and is in the process of issuing
upgraded versions. He may have odd quantities of stock which are not listed.
