Yes I wondered about that. I simply though that the Webserver had died.
Doesn't the webmaster post here, Model Depot? The sister site, D&E Video, is still up, I suspect that a renewal has been over looked.
Oh dear, bit embarrasing. I was hoping to buy a 114 DMU kit as I want to do the SYPTE livered one that I used to bash between Sheffield and Donny when I was but a lad. Happy days.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was looking for details of the new AL-1 and was disappointed to find it relies on a black beetle bogie for propulsion.

"Relies on"?? As it's a kit, couldn't you use your own preference? Have you come across the High Level Kits bogies?
I don't like Black Beetles either, and for a DC Kits Derby Lightweight I've ordered a chassis kit from Bill Bedford,
Just trying to help!
It's the drive unit supplied with the kit which suggests there's no room for a modern centre-drive unit.
Steve Jones (remember him?) recommends the drive bogie from the Bachmann Warship. Incidentally, Steve just updated his website for the first time in months.
For a DMU I can see the advantages of an underfloor unit like the Black Beetle, but not for a passenger express locomotive. Even then I would prefer to hide a full size drive unit in the guard's compartment.
Brilliant, I didn't realise something like that was available.

Ah - I hadn't looked closely enough to realise that the Black Beetle is foisted upon you - seems to be a retrograde step not to offer a "body only" kit for those that would like the choice.
I hope that's better than the Mainline Warship drive bogie :-)
