I am building a Boot Lane Nancy, 32mm gauge, the plan is to make it into an Xmas train, so nice lead time. Not going to tell how I built the loco, as that is in the instructions, but I will show the progress, and any issue and thoughts:

I ordered the kit last week 16th (Tuesday), and it arrived the next day, so service and dispatch is great. Looking at the parts which are a mixture of filament and resin printed, and acrylic sheet, they looked well produced, and a quick look through the instructions and they seemed fine - here is what you get, including wheels and motor:

Starting the build, my first issue was that there is no information identifying the parts, the very first instruction is to attach the motion bracket to the 2mm acrylic frames, the accompanying photo shows the motion bracket in white, from an end on view, and they were in fact acrylic. Moving forward looking for the frame stretchers, and having built chassis before, the two large item that were the frame stretchers were not what I expected. So a slow start, but I soon had the simple chassis complete:

One point 2 mm screws are used to hold the parts together, and it is suggested that the hole opening is opened slightly with a taper reamers, as the screws form there own threads, I have a 2 mm tap, and found tapping the threads first was a better solution.

Finishing off for the day is adding the wheels:

One final instruction was the motor, which I fitted, and on my 0 Gauge track gave a quick run, the motor is described as 3 - 6 volts, so with 2 AA batteries powered up, and ran quite nicely, so final power will probably be a 3.7 volt Li-Ion battery:
