Has anyone ever built the Connoisseur NER 'Birdcage' coach kits? If so, what do they look like and what experience have you had with them? As the Connoisseur website does not have images, and I haven't seen any images of the diagram numbers, I would like to know what kind of coach they produce and what experience/skill level is required.

Hi
I have built one of his 4mm NER 4 wheel coaches. Wasnt impressed poor quality and not a good fit.
I think he has stopped making 4mm versions??

I probably won't bother, as I'm not looking for 4 wheelers (was hoping they'd be 6 wheelers), especially if they are bad kits, as you say.
