Hi folks,
My first post do please be gentle !
I’m struggling a tad with tracking down decent (1:22.5) Jackson Sharp coaches. eBay isn’t really playing ball, and even following a couple of calls to Bachmann, I’m not really any wiser as to the scale of their ‘Big Hauler’ JS coaches. My local model shop is happy to order them in if they are the correct scale, but I will have to point the airbrush at them as the livery I require isn’t available.
So, getting to the point of my post....the PIKO offerings are to the correct scale, but around 1/2 the length of what I believe to be the real thing. I’m happy to cut and shut a pair to get the length, but before I commit to anything, is anyone out there running these coaches? Is the quality ok? Do they look ok in their present length?
